🍬 Posthuman Fridays (a little late, still on point)

The Candy House by Jennifer Egan imagines a world where memories are uploaded, shared, and sold. When identity becomes data, who really owns the self?

🌙✨ #PosthumanFridays
This week’s rec: The Sleepless by Victor Manibo — a compelling near-future thriller where a sleepless elite reshapes society, labor, and what it means to be human. 🧬🔍

A smart blend of biotech, mystery & posthuman themes.
Highly recommended!
