Technology and Identity in Young Adult Fiction is not a historical study or a survey of narrative plots, but takes a more conceptual approach that engages with the central ideas of posthumanism: the fragmented nature of posthuman identity, the concept of agency as distributed and collective and the role of embodiment in understandings of selfhood.

Victoria Flanagan is a senior lecturer in English at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia, and the convenor of the MA in Children's Literature. Her research focuses on transgressive gender representations and the application of posthuman ideology to children's texts. She is the author of Into the Closet: Cross-dressing and the Gendered Body in Children's Literature and Film (2008).
