Scientific experiments and medical improvements in recent years
have augmented our bodies, made them manipulable; our personal data
have been downloaded, stored, sold, analyzed; and the pandemic has
given new meaning to the idea of 'virtual presence'. Such phenomena
are often thought to belong to the era of the 'posthuman', an era
that both promises and threatens to redefine the notion of the
human: what does it mean to be human? Can technological advances
impact the way we define ourselves as a species? What will the
future of humankind look like? These questions have gained urgency
in recent years, and continue to preoccupy cultural and legal
practitioners alike. How can the law respond and adapt to a world
shaped by technology and AI? How can it ensure that technological
developments remain inclusive, while simultaneously enforcing
ethical limits to its reach? The volume explores how fictional
texts, whether on the page or on screen, negotiate the legal
dilemmas posed by the increasing infiltration of technology into
modern life.
