      ab: This study examines the posthuman perspective as a "mythopoetic production" (Clarke), wherein the human is deconstructed through analysis not as a unified whole but as an "assemblage". Through this lens, the human is reinterpreted as a fluid entity, assimilating and integrating diverse cultural, technological, and ecological influences that shape its identity. In Omul de cristal (The Crystal Man), published in 1930, Nicolae Rădulescu-Niger constructs such a figure in the form of a proto-robot, an artificial entity humanized through its integration into a social system. Eudoxiu, the physician-character, engineers Amedeu, who is subsequently destroyed through a violent act. The creation of the crystal man is achieved through the tools of a pseudo-creator, rendering the human not merely a biological entity but a dynamic social, cultural, and technological construct.
