Sinossi
Nietzsche's vision of the 'overman' continues to haunt the postmodern imagination. His call that 'man is something that must be overcome' can no longer be seen as simple rhetoric. Our experiences of the hybrid realities of artificial life have made the 'transhuman' a figure that looks over us all. Inspired by this vision, Keith Ansell Pearson sets out to examine if evolution is 'out of control' and machines are taking over.
In a series of six fascinating perspectives, he links Nietzsche's thought with the issues at stake in contemporary conceptions of evolution from the biological to the technological. Viroid Life; Perspectives on Nietzsche and the Transhuman Condition considers the hybrid, 'inhuman' character of our future with the aid of Nietzsche's philosophy. Keith Ansell Pearson contrasts Nietzsche and Darwin before introducing the more recent figures such as Giles Deleuze and Guy Debord to sketch a new thinking of technics and machines and stress the ambiguous character of our 'machine enslavement'.

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. A densely interesting book of six essays by Keith Ansell Pearson about "the future of the human", combatively written and entertainingly opinionated, remarking, for example, after quoting some of the dreadful Heidegger's thoughts about bees, "Heidegger moves from anthropocentric prejudice to bad biology". Nietzsche's speculations, by contrast, "contain a radical and far-reaching overturning of such anthropocentric naivety". Ok, you think, tell me more. The book itself is still tightly bound, and largely clean: there are five spindly marginal lines and underlinings and one marginal tick in the Introduction, and 21 spindly marginal lines and underlinings in Chapter 6, mostly just picking out one, two or three words or sitting alongside two, three or four lines. There's a bit of spotting around the edges of the pages, and some very minor bumping and rubbing around the edges of the covers (just odd millimetres). Overall, still very good.
