"""Rigorous, compelling, and beautifully written, Prosthetic Immortalities is at the vanguard of the new wave in Derrida studies. Problematizing and deconstructing transhumanist technologies, Adam R. Rosenthal offers to readers both clarity and new understanding as he lucidly and insightfully illuminates Derrida's notions of 'lifedeath' and survival in the contexts of biology, technology, and ontology."" --Nicole Anderson, founding editor, Derrida Today Journal"
