Where it came from
Posthumanism in the Novels of Kurt Vonnegut by Andrew Hicks was published in 2020 as part of the Routledge Studies in Contemporary Literature series. The work emerged from a broader academic interest in applying posthumanist theory to 20th-century American fiction, positioning Vonnegut not merely as a satirist, but as a writer whose narratives fundamentally challenge the traditional humanist conception of the self and the boundaries of human agency.
The book examines Vonnegut’s recurring thematic focus on technology, evolution, and entropy, interpreting his body of work through a posthuman lens. Hicks analyzes how Vonnegut’s characters frequently struggle with a reality where human dominance is diminished, reflecting a post-World War II anxieties regarding scientific advancement. The text serves as a scholarly contribution to literary criticism, aimed at framing Vonnegut’s legacy within the context of contemporary philosophical discourse on the posthuman era.
