Exploring the Limits of the Human through Science Fiction
examines the genre of science fiction as its own form of critical
theory and argues that it proves crucial to understanding the human
in the postmodern era. Featuring chapters on novels, films, and
anime, Gerald Alva Miller, Jr.'s scholarship intervenes in a
diverse array of theoretical schools, including gender theory,
psychoanalysis, political theory, and posthumanism. Through its
engagement with different kinds of texts, this study represents a
new way of approaching both science fiction and critical theory,
and it uses both to question what it means to be human in the
digital era.
