Screening Technology, Theorizing Posthumanism examines how different 
embodiments of technological life come to be inscribed with qualities of 
humanness across mainstream film and television, so as to better 
understand the ways in which posthumanism emerges on-screen.

"This timely book offers nuanced, informed analyses of popular science 
fiction films and television series, illuminating the contradictions and 
complexities that cohere in the concept of the posthuman" - Dr Jeff 
Scheible, Senior Lecturer in Film Studies, King's College London.

"Screening Technology, Theorizing Posthumanism is an impressive 
achievement. It is not only a book about how cinema and television 
respond to contemporary digital technologies, robotics and AI, but how 
screen culture is thinking through posthumanist challenges to 
subjectivity and embodiment in ways that are creative and critical at 
once. Rogers shows how we not only need to theorize posthumanism as 
film-philosophy, but how powerfully and provocatively screen 
technologies have been doing this for some time" - Professor Robert 
Sinnerbrink, Professor of Philosophy, Macquarie University, Australia.
