BEYOND THE HUMAN: TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS AND POSTHUMANISM IN CIXIN LIU’S THE THREE-BODY PROBLEM

Abstract

Rapid advancements in technology have transformed perceptions of lifestyle and identity by redefining the limits between humanity and generation. Through the perspective of posthumanism, Cixin Liu's The Three Body Problem offers a fascinating analysis of these subjects in the setting of first contact with a sophisticated extraterrestrial society, thus challenging traditional ideas of the human. Drawing on textual analysis and posthumanist theoretical models, this research study looks at how technical advancements affect human identity and drive society toward a posthuman future. The unusual one examines the limitations of human centric thinking and envisions a future in which survival demands the surpassing of biological limitations via artificial intelligence, quantum generation, and extraterrestrial contacts.
