In the Hypogeum, invisible assassins keep the population in check, cannibalism and incest are commonplace, and privacy is a thing of the past. Just when tensions are reaching a boiling point, an ancient mythical spirit is resurrected to cleanse the city of its many sins... and sinners. Bursting with imagination, action, and vividly drawn characters, Steel Sky is a cautionary tale of idealism pushed beyond all limits, in a world unlike any other, with a heart as real as your own.

Download or read book How Not to Make a Human written by Karl Steel and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2019-12-24 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From pet keeping to sky burials, a posthuman and ecocritical interrogation of and challenge to human particularity in medieval texts Mainstream medieval thought, like much of mainstream modern thought, habitually argued that because humans alone had language, reason, and immortal souls, all other life was simply theirs for the taking. But outside this scholarly consensus teemed a host of other ways to imagine the shared worlds of humans and nonhumans. How Not to Make a Human engages with these nonsystematic practices and thought to challenge both human particularity and the notion that agency, free will, and rationality are the defining characteristics of being human. Recuperating the Middle Ages as a lost opportunity for decentering humanity, Karl Steel provides a posthuman and ecocritical interrogation of a wide range of medieval texts. Exploring such diverse topics as medieval pet keeping, stories of feral and isolated children, the ecological implications of funeral practices, and the “bare life” of oysters from a variety of disanthropic perspectives, Steel furnishes contemporary posthumanists with overlooked cultural models to challenge human and other supremacies at their roots. By collecting beliefs and practices outside the mainstream of medieval thought, How Not to Make a Human connects contemporary concerns with ecology, animal life, and rethinkings of what it means to be human to uncanny materials that emphasize matters of death, violence, edibility, and vulnerability.
