Transhumanist Sci-Fi Discussion: The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi


Listen Later

This week, we talk about this book in the context of one of the first posthumanist novels: Shelley's Frankenstein.  We also debate whether or not The Windup Girl should be considered as a post/transhumanist text, and whether we were unduly critical in categorizing this book as being light on ideas.
This is the third novel in our Transhumanist Sci-Fi series. Want to talk about The Windup Girl? Join our book club discussion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CanonicalPod where you can also find show notes, credits and extended discussions for every episode.
