{"product_id":"9781913462949","title":"Post-Self : Journeys Beyond the Human Body - Roy Christopher","description":"\u003cp\u003eUsing extreme music and film as points of departure, Post-Self digs deep into the darkest thoughts of the most dissatisfied minds, minds that want to leave their bodies behind.   Everyone is looking for a way out. Throughout history, the physical body has often been seen as a prison, as something to be escaped by any means necessary: technology, mechanization, drugs and sensory deprivation, rapture, or even death.   Taking in horror movies, heavy metal, philosophy, science fiction, and cybernetics, Post-Self is an exploration of the ways that human beings have sought to make this escape, to transcend the limits of the human body, to find a way out.   As the physical world continues to collapse around us, and we are faced with a particularly 21st-century kind of dread and dehumanization,Post-Self asks what this escape from our bodies might look like, and what it might mean for the future of civilisation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roy Christopher","offers":[{"title":"1 pages \/ 02\/12\/2025 \/ Philosophy of mind","offer_id":56971231035767,"sku":"9781913462949","price":9.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781913462949.jpg?v=1775169411","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781913462949","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
