Book Description
"When the sun goes down, the hunger begins. Yesterday, they ruled a lonely monastery on a deserted island in the Pacific Northwest. Tonight, an entire city is theirs. They are the New Ones, a thoroughly modern breed of vampire terrifyingly unlike the blood-feeding Ancients who came before them. Now Seattle bursts with the unholy presence of nocturnal predators, for whom the hot, salty, liquid from their living victims means not only survival, but superhuman power -- and indescribable ecstasy. Those they feed on rise again. They climb from beneath darkened streets, driven by a raging thirst that can never be sated. The humans who hunt them say there is nothing in this world that can't be destroyed. They're wrong..." --cover page [4].

Book Description
This book demonstrates how and why vitalism - the idea that life cannot be explained by the principles of mechanism - matters now. Vitalism resists closure and reductionism in the life sciences whilst simultaneously addressing the object of life itself. The aim of this collection is to consider the questions that vitalism makes it possible to ask: questions about the role and status of life across the sciences, social sciences and humanities and questions about contingency, indeterminacy, relationality and change. All have special importance now, as the concepts of complexity, artificial life and artificial intelligence, information theory and cybernetics become increasingly significant in more and more fields of activity.
