Posthumanity in the Anthropocene: Margaret Atwoods Dystopias Muoz-Gonzlez Esther
In this book, Margaret Atwood's dystopian novels-The Handmaid's Tale, the MaddAddam trilogy, The Heart Goes Last, and The Testaments-are analyzed from the perspective provided by the combined views of the construction of the posthuman subject in its interactions with science and technology, and the Anthropocene as a cultural field of enquiry. Supported by the exemplification of the generic characteristics of the cli-fi genre, this book discusses the effects of climate change, at the individual level, and as a collective threat that can lead to a "world without us." Moreover, Margaret Atwood is herself the constant object of extensive academic interest and Posthuman theory is widely Posthumanist critical concerns try to dismantle anthropocentric notions of the human and defend the need for a closer relationship between humanity and the environment.
