Dobrin presents 13 essays which examine the relationship between posthumanism and writing in the theoretical demanding context of writing studies. He defines the books content as an attempt to incite and disrupt writing studies from the constraints of humanist thought, and identifies a moment of inquiry in which the human subject is called into question via its overlap with technologies--cybernetics, informatics, artificial intelligence, genetic manipulation, psychotropic and other pharmaceuticals, and other biotechnologies--as well as species interactions.
