Screening technology, theorizing posthumanism: humanness and embodiment in science-fiction film and television

"This book examines how different embodiments of technological life come to be inscribed with qualities of humanness across mainstream film and television, so as to understand the myriad ways in which posthumanism emerges onscreen. Through close readings of films such as Her (2013), WALL-E (2008) and CHAPPiE (2015) and series like Black Mirror (2011-present) and My Holo Love (2020), it considers what it means to 'screen' posthumanism, what screening posthumanism looks like, and why it matters"-- Provided by publisher.
