THE POST-HUMAN SOCIETY - RAJANI KANTH GEBUNDEN

The Post-Human Society is a rich  unique  path-breaking  belletristic and literary 'crie de
coeur' work - a lyrical expose of all the internal infelicities (social  political  aesthetic)
of the United States of America. In its vivid contrasting of the mores of competition  avarice
and greed to communitarian  co-respecting and co-operative values  it abounds with colorful 
vibrant  breathtaking images and tropes. Utilizing a novel  First Person Narrative  the author
Rajani Kanth offers a poignant critique of the rabid  runaway materialism that has been the
bane of all modernist  European societies  to date. It is evocative in its approach to the
fading genre of the iconic anthropology sociology classics of the yesteryear. Ultimately  it is
a critique of the ruling ethos of our times: Eurocentrism - i.e.  selfish and acquisitive
materialism  of which the contemporary USA is the trend-setter and the unchallenged gold
standard. DR. RAJANI KANTH has an MA in Social Anthropology from the Delhi School of Economics
India  and a PhD in Economics from the New School for Social Research  New York  USA. After
serving as Economic Advisor to the UN in New York  he taught as University Professor  and is
currently based at Harvard University.
