Humans, Animals, Machines: Blurring Boundaries, edited by Glen A. Mazis, explores the increasingly complex relationships between humans, animals, and machines in contemporary society. The contributors, representing diverse fields such as philosophy, animal studies, and technology studies, examine how advancements in technology and shifting cultural perspectives are blurring the traditional lines that separate these categories. The book delves into topics including animal rights, artificial intelligence, cyborgs, and the ethical implications of biotechnology, questioning the very definitions of humanness, animality, and the nature of machines. It challenges readers to reconsider anthropocentric viewpoints and grapple with the evolving moral and philosophical dilemmas arising from our interactions with animals and increasingly sophisticated technologies
