Book excerpt: Critical Posthumanities, as a field, challenges us to deconstruct traditional paradigms, to question the very foundations upon which our understanding of humanity is built. The chapters within this book serve as beacons, illuminating the complex intersections of technology, society, ethics and identity. Section I of the Book ‘Beyond Boundaries: Navigating Critical Posthumanism’ is dedicated to the understanding of the theory of ‘Posthumanism’ and aims to provide a theoretical exploration of various discourses in relation to Posthumanism. Section II of the Book ‘Reimagining Humanity: Posthuman Narratives in Literature’ particularly, embarks on a journey into the realm of classic fiction, speculative fiction, dystopian narratives and visionary prose that grapple with the implications of posthumanism and posthuman future. Section III of the Book ‘Visions Unveiled: Posthumanism in Visual Narratives’ is an exploration of the symbiotic relationship between posthumanism and visual narratives that offers the readers to traverse into the world of films, anime and graphic novels. The final Section of the Book ‘Horizons of Tomorrow: Charting Posthuman Futures’ explores the myriad ways in which posthumanism shapes and informs the future, beckoning one to gaze into the abyss of the unknown and imagine the possibilities that await.
