“An ambitious project in the Critical Approaches to Children’s Literature Series … . Technology and Identity in Young Adult Fiction: The Posthuman Subject is a wellthought- out and excellently argued book. The author manages to present a positive image of posthumanism in YA literature as a driving force behind novel identities of the digital age and offers numerous insightful ideas that even those readers who do not normally engage with posthumanism will enjoy.” (Robert Gadowski, International Research in Children's Literature, Vol. 9 (2), December, 2016)“Victoria Flanagan’s Technology and Identity in Young Adult Fiction offers an engaging exploration of technology in young adult … fiction, including ideas of identity,embodiment, subjectivity and individual agency in posthuman fiction. … She writes engagingly, offering insight and her texts connect through this common thread. … The sum total is a convincingly written, well-argued and fascinating exploration of the use of the posthuman in YA fiction.” (Katherine Ford, The British Society of Literature and Science, bsls.ac.uk, January, 2016)
