"Technomorphisms and the Posthuman Turn is the result of an ongoing collaboration between analysts, inviting the reader to broaden their knowledge from a psychoanalytical vertex and to engage in a critical dialogue toward a posthumanist perspective. We are in the Anthropocene, in which the place of the subject has shifted to the Posthuman era, where the subject is accountable for its acts on the ecosystem. This ontological and epistemological shift encompassing AI and technology directly concerns the human condition, our clinical practice, and theory. Whether deeply versed in the subject or curious novice, this book will challenge, expand, and enrich you. It is a must-read!"
