Abstract: Technology is the very word used for communication purposes in earlier times and now it has become an indispensable part of human existence. With the use of technology, humans can reach beyond their borders; they can extend their intellectual power, consciousness, body, etc. The concept of man as the center of the world shatters with the emergence of technological advancement. Post-humanism, the new coinage, describes a person or entity that exists in a state beyond being human. It questions the hierarchies of human/non-human, human/machine, and human/inhuman notions and evokes the possibility of a serious decentering of man, the former measure of all things. Science fictions are one of the most powerful critical tools to create a new cultural identity and definition of humans. And they are more or less framed to chase the latest technological developments to reproduce new modes of techno reality. Ishiguro's eighth novel, Klara and the Sun, speaks of the story of Klara, a companion robot to Josie. Josie's mother chose Klara from a shop, and she tried her best to become a companion to Josie. As time passes, Klara shows an outward perspective of humanity and similar thoughts of human beings, which raises the question of what a human is. The present paper analyses the concept of human values, emotions, and feelings that blurs amid technological advancement. It also deconstructs the age-old notion of what a human is and its limitations.
