We race upon the post-human. And we fear it. Will humanity someday cease to know itself? Professor Caroline McCracken-Flesher (University of Wyoming) discusses how Iain Banks poses and addresses this troubling future. In Banks’s Culture novels, he stands heir to an enlightened Scotland. For Banks, Mind reinvents the human.
