Author(s): Pramod K. NayarSubject(s): Social Philosophy, American Literature
Published by: Transnational Press London
Keywords: Born; Extraordinary; Jeff VanderMeer; New Weird; Posthuman; Post-natural;
Summary/Abstract: In this essay, I argue that VanderMeer’s imagining of such a world in Borne is at once posthuman and post-natural, and the two are interconnected. The crux of the argument is that the posthuman is contingent upon, even as it produces, the post-natural.
