Summary/Abstract: The article shows how the latest reflection within philosophical posthumanism can be applied to the analysis of science fiction works. The concepts of Francesca Fernando and Rosi Braidotti serve as a theoretical basis here, allowing us to look differently at the possible spectrum of life forms in cosmic space and the consequences of human and posthuman encounters with them. The post-humanist perspective seems to offer the possibility of looking at the future exploration of space and the encounter with extraterrestrial civilizations in a balanced and anti-dystopian way.
