🍬 Posthuman Fridays (a little late, still on point)

The Candy House by Jennifer Egan imagines a world where memories are uploaded, shared, and sold. When identity becomes data, who really owns the self?

🌙✨ #PosthumanFridays
This week’s rec: The Sleepless by Victor Manibo — a compelling near-future thriller where a sleepless elite reshapes society, labor, and what it means to be human. 🧬🔍

A smart blend of biotech, mystery & posthuman themes.
Highly recommended!

#PosthumanFridays is back!

This week’s pick: Neuromancer (1984) by William Gibson — the cyberpunk classic that redefined how we imagine tech, identity & the future. 💻🧠⚡

A visionary dive into AI, body mods & corporate power — essential reading for any posthumanist! 🤖
October 31, 2025 at 1:02 PM
🚀📚 #PosthumanFridays begins!

Every week we’ll recommend a novel that shapes our research on #posthumanism, tech, & contemporary lit. 🌍✨

First up: The Body Scout (2021) by Lincoln Michel ⚾🧬 A sharp sci-fi noir where body mods meet biocapitalism — and justice gets a cybernetic twist. 💀
