David Roden’s research has addressed deconstruction and analytic philosophy, naturalism, sound and posthumanism. His book Posthuman Life: Philosophy at the Edge of the Human (Routledge New York, 2014) explores the epistemological and ethical ramifications of Speculative Posthumanism: the thesis that there could be agents originating in human social-technical systems which become posthuman as a result of some technological alteration. He also writes experimental fiction and concept horror. His novella Snuff Memories was published by Schism[2] Press (2021). A collection of fiction and theory fiction, Xenoerotics, was published in 2023 also by Schism[2]. His latest essay, ‘The Good, The Bad and the Grimdark: Why Technological Mastery Precludes Collective Self-Mastery’ is currently out in Technophany: a journal for philosophy and technology.
