Description

Sean McQueen rewrites and re-envisions Gilles Deleuze's and Jean Baudrillard's relationship with Marxism and with each other, from their breakdowns to their breakthroughs. He theorises shifts in and across critical approaches to capitalism, science, technology, psychoanalysis, literature and cinema and media studies. He also brings renewed Marxian readings to cyberpunk texts previously theorised by Deleuze and Baudrillard, and places them at the heart of the emergence of biopunk and its relation to biocapitalism by mapping their generic, technoscientific, libidinal and economic exchanges.

Critic Reviews

“By the time the world discovered cyberpunk, the fiction of neo-liberal globalisation, it was already a mouldering corpse, mere mulch for the becoming-biopunk. McQueen's volume offers a Marxian science fiction theory fit for the dark times of the biocapitalist imaginary. It rescues Baudrillard and renews Deleuze. It is a dazzling accomplishment.”

--Mark Bould, University of the West of England
