There has been a marked increased interest in technology and literature studies in Latin America, with special issues devoted to the topic by Revista Iberoamericana, Hispanic Review and Revista Canadiense de Estudios Hispánicos published in the last few yearsPosthuman Studies have emerged as an important academic and cultural focus in the last 15 years with many academic books published on the topic, books that have had some success outside the academic market due to the general interest in technology studiesThis would be the first book on posthuman identity in Latin America and one of very few books dedicated to the study of the posthuman in literature and culture outside of the US and Western EuropeThe book addresses works by established canonical artists (Piglia, Boullosa, Aristarain) as well as younger authors that have been the focus of a great deal of international attention (Edmundo Paz Soldán, Alberto Fuguet, Rodrigo Fresán)
