Dramatic advances in genetics cloning robotics and nanotechnology have given rise to both hopes and fears about how technology might transform humanity. As the possibility of a posthuman future becomes increasingly likely debates about how to interpret or shape this future abound. In Japan anime and manga artists have for decades been imagining the contours of posthumanity creating dazzling and sometimes disturbing works of art that envision a variety of human/nonhuman hybrids: biological/mechanical human/animal and human/monster. Anime and manga offer a constellation of posthuman prototypes whose hybrid natures require a shift in our perception of what it means to be human.
