摘要
This work proposes to analyze comparatively the representation of the post-human in the works Never let me go (2005), by Kazuo Ishiguro, and Brave New World (1932), by Aldous Huxley, in which the protagonists have a post-human nature and live in dystopian societies. In order to do it, it will focus the process of creation of the post-human bodies, the ethical question that surrounds it, and humanizing traits that, considered as elements of social destabilization, end up by being obliterated.
