Abstract:
In the age of considerable progress in technology by simulation, machines have become the extension of human bodies and have blurred the boundary between nature and culture. The researcher investigates Margaret Atwoods environmental concerns who demands a theoretical framework regarding the cultural system as ecological phenomena. Throughout this article, the researcher re- evaluates what it is to be human in Oryx and Crake (2003) and attempts to define the posthuman condition and the notion of ecposthumanism. It also investigates the deconstruction of the humanist vision through such a posthumanist reading of Margaret Atwoods novel and highlights the possibility of the posthuman and the human being able to survive together in a dystopia created by harsh intervention of human to the realm of nonhuman. The researcher through the lens of posthumanism as one branch of ecocriticism investigatesAtwood's characters and the role of technology and nature.
