Transhuman and Subhuman: Essays on Science Fiction and Awful Truth

TRANSHUMAN AND SUBHUMAN is a collection of brilliant and thought-provoking essays by the science fiction master John C. Wright. In the sixteen essays that make up the collection, Wright addresses a wide spectrum of ideas. He considers the darker possibilities of transhumanism, provides a professorial lesson on the mechanics of writing fiction, explains the noble purpose underlying science fiction, and shows how the genre's obsession with strong female characters is nothing less than an attack on human nature.

From the history of the Golden Age of science fiction to the atheist evangelism of Phillip Pullman, from the Gnosticism of Arthur C. Clarke to the deeper meaning of Snow White, Wright's commentary is always intelligent, observant, and precisely to the point. In every essay, Wright exhibits his compassion, his humanity, and his deep and abiding love for literature. DRM-free.

John C. Wright is the author of THE GOLDEN AGE and AWAKE IN THE NIGHT LAND. He has been described as one of the most important and audacious authors in science fiction today. In a recent poll of more than a thousand science fiction readers, he was chosen as the sixth-greatest living science fiction writer.
