Posthumanism in Art and Science: A Reader covers a wide range of schools of thought. The assembled selections are wildly diverse in terms of artistic medium, national origin, racial composition, sexual orientation, and species identity and interrelations. It captures this theoretical diversity with a guiding interest in the new-materialist wing of posthumanist discourse. Aloi and McHugh curate an effective fusion of critical and visual discourse, with a particular emphasis on human-animal relations.
