Description
Blistering new book explores an idea that's being seriously discussed: the end of humanity's reign on earth. Adam Kirsch delves into literature, philosophy, science, and popular culture to examine two strands of thinking about our future. Kirsch examines Anthropocene antihumanism, which suggests climate destruction has doomed humanity, and Transhumanism, which believes genetic engineering and artificial intelligence will lead to new forms of life superior to humans. He introduces key thinkers and writers who are shaping the current debate on human extinction. This thought-provoking book challenges readers to see the world in a new light, as the revolt against humanity spreads beyond the intellectual fringes and has the potential to transform politics and society.
