Technology and Identity in Young Adult Fiction [electronic resource] : The Posthuman Subject /
Flanagan, V.author.
Technology and Identity in Young Adult Fiction is not a historical study or a survey of narrative plots, but takes a more conceptual approach that engages with the central ideas of posthumanism: the fragmented nature of posthuman identity, the concept of agency as distributed and collective and the role of embodiment in understandings of selfhood.
