#PosthumanFridays is back!

This week’s pick: Neuromancer (1984) by William Gibson — the cyberpunk classic that redefined how we imagine tech, identity & the future. 💻🧠⚡

A visionary dive into AI, body mods & corporate power — essential reading for any posthumanist! 🤖

🚀📚 #PosthumanFridays begins!

Every week we’ll recommend a novel that shapes our research on #posthumanism, tech, & contemporary lit. 🌍✨

First up: The Body Scout (2021) by Lincoln Michel ⚾🧬 A sharp sci-fi noir where body mods meet biocapitalism — and justice gets a cybernetic twist. 💀
