Summary:	"At a time when we face ecological crisis and when new technologies and cultural inventions are putting the status of "human" into question, "The Ahuman manifesto offers a sharp and original alternative to current versions of "posthuman" thought, Advancing an entirely new term and trajectory, while still interrogating the key philosophies and theories that have preceded it, Patrica MacCormack argues for a way for thinking that doesn't dissolve into nihilism and despair, but actively embraces issues like human extinction, vegan abolition, atheist occultism, death studies, a refusal of identity politics, deep ecology, and the apocalypse as an optimistic beginning." --
