Introduction The Genre of the Non-Place: Science Fiction as Critical Theory -- 1. Variables of the Human: Gender and the Programmable Subject in Samuel R. Delany's Triton -- 2. The Human as Desiring Machine: Anime Explorations of Disembodiment and Evolution -- 3. The Eversion of the Virtual: Postmodernity and Control Societies in William Gibson's Science Fictions of the Present -- 4. The Spectacle of Memory: Realism, Narrative, and Time Travel Cinema -- Conclusion Beyond the Human: Ontogenesis, Technology, and the Posthuman in Kubrick and Clarke's 2001.

Exploring the Limits of the Human through Science Fiction examines the genre of science fiction as its own form of critical theory and argues that it proves crucial to understanding the human in the postmodern era. Featuring chapters on novels, films, and anime, Gerald Alva Miller, Jr.'s scholarship intervenes in a diverse array of theoretical schools, including gender theory, psychoanalysis, political theory, and posthumanism. Through its engagement with different kinds of texts, this study represents a new way of approaching both science fiction and critical theory, and it uses both to question what it means to be human in the digital era.
