About
Antonie Marie Bodley’s research sits at the provocative intersection of posthumanism, science fiction, and emerging technologies. Her most cited work, the 2015 dissertation *The Android and our Cyborg Selves: What Androids Will Teach us about Being (Post)Human*, introduces a compelling framework she calls “android theory.” Rather than treating the android as a mere technological artifact, Bodley positions it as an “evocative object” that forces us to reconsider the boundaries of human identity, consciousness, and embodiment. Drawing on both science fiction narratives and real-world advances in strong AI and humanoid robotics, she argues that androids will not only mirror but fundamentally reshape our understanding of what it means to be human—or posthuman. Though her citation count remains modest at two, the conceptual ambition of her work has sparked thoughtful dialogue among scholars in digital humanities and critical posthumanism. Bodley’s contribution lies in her refusal to separate the technological from the philosophical, insisting that our cyborg futures demand new ways of thinking about selfhood, agency, and the stories we tell about who we are becoming.
