This book explores how technology reshapes human life in contemporary Pakistani Anglophone fiction. Focusing on novels by Mohsin Hamid, Kamila Shamsie, Nadeem Aslam, and Uzma Aslam Khan, this book examines four key technologies—automobiles, cameras, digital media, and weapons—and their role in transforming identity, ethics, and power. Drawing on posthuman and postcolonial theory, the chapters present how these texts depict cyborg identities, surveillance cultures, and techno-political violence in the Global South. By combining literary analysis with critical theory, it offers new ways to understand human–machine relationships beyond Eurocentric frameworks. This book is an essential resource for scholars and students of literature, cultural studies, media studies, and South Asian studies interested in technology, posthumanism, and global modernity.
