Exits to the Posthuman Future is media theory for a global
digital society which thrives, and sometimes perishes, at the
intersection of technologies of speed, distant ethics and a
pervasive cultural anxiety. Arthur Kroker's incisive and
insightful text presents the emerging pattern of a posthuman
future: life at the tip of technologies of acceleration, drift and
crash. Kroker links key concepts such as "Guardian
Liberalism" and Obama's vision of the "Just
War" with a striking account of "culture drift"
as the essence of real world technoculture. He argues that
contemporary society displays growing uncertainty about the
ultimate ends of technological innovation and the intelligibility
of the digital future. The posthuman future is elusive: is it a
gathering storm of cynical abandonment, inertia, disappearance and
substitution? Or else the development of a new form of critical
consciousness - the posthuman imagination - as a means of
comprehending the full complexity of life? Depending on which exit
to the posthuman future we choose or, perhaps, which exit chooses
us, Kroker argues that a very different posthuman future will
likely ensue.
