Thinking a little...alien.
Rating  (5)
Date: 2005-04-17
This book is superbly and insightfully articulated, a cogent and rewarding meander through our fascination with aliens and the various, enthralling grapplings our leading intellectuals have elicited with the fiery subject of humanism. Tinged with a gracious and subtle humour, Badmington's masterful literary savvy artfully blends white-hot analysis of critical and cultural theory and its compelling history with personal reflection, celluloid expertise, wit and candour. Colourful and germane throughout, 'Alien Chic' is a tour de force which shrewdly encourages a reappraisal of the very borders and limits of our own human subjectivity. A glimpse of the matrix, an invitation into the void, a flirtation with one's own Mother Ship. In short? Oh, right: top stuff. Go buy it. Your abduction awaits...
