Beastliness invokes the horizonless, post-species-specific imaginary of our new on- and offline lives, as we tango into the far-fetched future, propelled by unchecked hungers. Human physicality and culture have entirely transformed in relation to the technologies of everyday life. Miraculous conceptions are ordinary, death is deferred, biology is no longer destiny. Beastliness subjects these contemporary phenomena to an ardent, if ambivalent, embrace.
