He’s back, but this time, the glitter and sequins are things of the past. Travellers who left home centuries ago to colonise the galaxy are now being hunted down by a mysterious scientist who has something against revenants. Max will have to face a far greater enemy than the one he was fleeing on board the Gemini II. Over the course of his adventures, this former jet-setter will have to take control of his own fate, but that will not be enough. He wants to know. Why are the revenants being hunted down in secret? Why are they worth such an astronomical sum on the black market? What on earth could this ‘doctor’ want with all these unfortunate souls? What he is about to discover will shock the entire galaxy.

Neoliberalism and Cyberpunk Science Fiction: Living on the Edge of Burnout
by Caroline AlphinCaroline Alphin presents an original exploration of biopolitics by examining it through the lens of cyberpunk science fiction. Comprised of five chapters, Neoliberalism and Cyberpunk Science Fiction is guided by four central themes: biopolitics, intensification, resilience, and accelerationism. The first chapters examine the political possibilities of cyberpunk as a genre of science fiction and introduce one kind of neoliberal subject, the self-monitoring cyborg. These are individuals who join fitness/health tracking devices and applications to their body to "self-cultivate". Here, Alphin presents concrete examples of how fitness trackers are a strategy of neoliberal governmentality under the guise of self-cultivation. Moving away from Foucault’s biopolitics to themes of intensity and resilience, Alphin draws largely from William Gibson’s Neuromancer, Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash, Richard K. Morgan’s Altered Carbon, along with the film Blade Runner to problematize notions of neoliberal resilience. Alphin returns to biopolitics, intensity, and resilience, connecting these themes to accelerationism as she engages with biohacker discourses. Here she argues that a biohacker is, in part, an intensification of the self-monitoring cyborg and accelerationism is in the end another form of resilience. Neoliberalism and Cyberpunk Science Fiction is an invaluable resource for those interested in security studies, political sociology, biopolitics, critical IR theory, political theory, cultural studies, and literary theory.
