This book works to delineate some of the major routes by which
science and art intersect. Structured according to the origin myths
of the posthuman that continue to shape the idea of the human in
our technological modernity, this volume gives space to narratives
of alter-modernity that resonate with Ursula K. Le Guin’s call
for a new kind of story which exposes the violence and exploitation
driven by a sustained belief in human exceptionalism,
anthropocentrism, and cultural superiority. In this context, the
posthuman myths of multispecies flourishing given in this
collection, which are situated across a range of historical times
and locations, and media and modalities, are to be thought of as
kernels of possible futures that can only be realized through
collective endeavour.
