What stands out here
This Polity Press edition gathers Kroker’s sharp cultural theory on media, biotech, and political economy with a consistent posthuman thesis and argumentative essays rather than case studies.
Best way to approach it
Approach it as a collection of argumentative essays: read slowly, pause to reflect on Kroker’s examples, and revisit sections to trace recurring themes about technology and subjectivity.
