Nietzschean Meditations takes its inspiration from the version of Nietzsche that was popular before the Second World War, which stressed the ‘Zarathustrian’ elements of his thought as the harbinger of a new sort of being – the Übermensch. The book updates the image of this creature to present a version of ‘transhumanism’ that breaks with the more precautionary and pessimistic approaches of humanity’s future in contemporary ‘posthumanist’ thought. Fuller follows Nietzsche in discussing deeply and frankly the challenging issues that aspiring transhumanists face. They include their philosophical and especially theological roots, the implications of transhumanism for matters of life and death, and whether any traces of classical humanity will remain in the ‘transhuman’ being.

Jahrzehnte an randständiger wissenschaftlicher Forschung haben im Green Fury-Monster bekannt als Sergeant Titanica ihren Höhepunkt erreicht. Niemand kennt ihre wahre Identität, aber zahlreiche Quellen behaupten, den Ursprung dieser riesigen Frau zu kennen. Kleinere Details unterscheiden sich, aber alle sind sich einig, dass sie ein hochdekoriertes Mitglied einer westlichen Militärorganisation war, das von der Führung von Green Fury rekrutiert wurde, um an einem gefährlichen Experiment teilzunehmen. Durch die Kombination zuvor unbekannter Pflanzen, die in der Region gefunden wurden, aus der die Terrasaurs hervorgingen, mit Energien, die von Kristallen erzeugt wurden, die in den Einschlagkratern des Harbinger-Kometen gefunden wurden, konnten die Wissenschaftler von Green Fury ein massives Wachstum in den Zellen des Körpers ihrer Freiwilligen auslösen. Am bemerkenswertesten ist, dass Sergeant Titanica all ihre geistigen Fähigkeiten behalten hat und seitdem die chaotischen Kräfte ihrer neu gewonnenen Freunde anführt. Neben Ursprungsgeschichten gibt es zahlreiche Verschwörungstheorien über ihr Leben nach dem Experiment. Titanica scheint nicht in der Lage zu sein, ihre menschliche Grösse wie die Zors des Shadow Sun Syndikats zurückzuerlangen, weshalb viele glauben, dass sie von einer Regierung beherbergt werden könnte, wenn sie nicht an Kämpfen teilnimmt.

In myths and legends, squids are portrayed as fearsome sea-monsters, lurking in the watery deeps waiting to devour humans. Even as modern science has tried to turn those monsters of the deep into unremarkable calamari, squids continue to dominate the nightmares of the Western imagination. Taking inspiration from early weird fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft, modern writers such as Jeff VanderMeer depict squids as the absolute Other of human civilization, while non-Western poets such as Daren Kamali depict squids as anything but threats. In Squid, Martin Wallen traces the many different ways humans have thought about and pictured this predatory mollusk: as guardians, harbingers of environmental collapse, or an untapped resource to be exploited. No matter how we have perceived them, squids have always gazed back at us, unblinking, from the dark.
