Jeanette Winterson’s The Stone Gods (2007) pictures a futuristic world in which every body is technologically, discursively, and materially constructed. First of all, The Stone Gods foregrounds the futuristic conceptualization of embodiment and posthuman gendered bodies in relation to biotechnology, biogenetics, and robotics, interrogating contemporary dimensions of the interface between the human and the machine, nature and culture. Secondly, the novel focuses on environmental concerns relevant to our present age. More specifically, however, drawing our attention to posthuman toxic bodies in terms of “trans-corporeality,” as suggested by Stacy Alaimo, The Stone Gods is an invaluable literary means to speculate on our “posthuman predicament,” in Rosi Braidotti’s words, and global ecological imperilment. In The Stone Gods, Winterson provides not only a warning against the dehumanization of the human in the process of posthumanization, but also a salient picture of posthuman trans-corporeal subjects through a discussion of the beneficial and deleterious effects of biotechnology and machines on human-nonhuman “naturecultures.” On this view, looking at both human and nonhuman bodies through a trans-corporeal lens would contribute to an understanding of how material-discursive structures can profoundly transform human-nonhuman life on Earth. Resumen The Stone Gods (2007) de Jeanette Winterson describe un mundo futuristico en el que todo el mundo esta construido tecnologica, discursiva y materialmente. En primer lugar, The Stone Gods pone en primer plano la conceptualizacion futurista de la materializacion y de los cuerpos  posthumanos provistos de genero en relacion con la biotecnologia, la biogenetica y la robotica, cuestionando las dimensiones contemporaneas del interfaz entre el humano y la maquina, naturaleza y cultura. En segundo lugar, la novela se centra en preocupaciones medioambientales relevantes en nuestra epoca. Mas especificamente, sin embargo, haciendo notarlos cuerpos toxicos post-humanos en terminos de “trans-corporalidad,” tal y como sugiere Stacy Aliamo, The Stone Gods es un medio literario que no tiene precio a la hora de especular sobre nuestro “dilema posthumano,” en palabras de Rosa Braidotti, y sobre la peligrosidad ecologica global. En The Stone Gods Winterson no solo ofrece una advertencia sobre la deshumanizacion del humano en el proceso de posthumanizacion, sino tambien una imagen destacada de los sujetos posthumanos trans-corporales por medio de un debate de los efectos beneficiosos y daninos de la biotecnologia y de las maquinas sobre las “naturaculturas” humanas-no-humanas. En este sentido, observando los cuerpos humanos y no-humanos a traves de una lente trans-corporal contribuiria a comprender como las estructuras materiales-discursivas pueden transformar profundamente la vida humana-no-humana de la Tierra.
