Publisher Synopsis
"MacFarlane's volume is easy to read. ... Transhumanism as a New Social Movement is able to draw on what is an undeniably large corpus of scholarship on the topic, filtering it through on the-ground ethnographic observations and surveys and interviews with citizens. ... The volume positions itself as an ideal primer, not only for those unfamiliar with the topic, but also for researchers who may be interested in beginning their own observations with the state of the art." (Steven Umbrello, Metascience, February 26, 2021)"A vital contribution to the nascent field of ethnographic work in NSMT, as this applies to THEA. As the first of its kind, it marks an important stepping stone in understanding both the kinds of beliefs and the ways in which those beliefs are formed in THEA groups. ... MacFarlane has done a fine job in formalising the essential components of THEA, which will allow for greater conceptual clarity in understanding its past, present, and future." (Fabio Tollon, Metapsychology Online Reviews, metapsychology.net, Vol. 24 (39), 2020) Read more...
