Drawing inspiration from non-human critters such as coral polyps and an insistent bee, Posthumanist Vulnerability explores what it means to be vulnerable and agentic – transjective – beings, and how they may teach humans ethical lessons in unlearning human exceptionalism. This is a truly wonderful book, full of new, affirmative posthumanist insight.
