Ei mun kirja. Voisin kuvitella että tämä on voimaannuttavaa tykittelyä, jos on Ruskea ja/tai kvääri ja kokee kehonsa ongelmalliseksi, mutta itse en ole kokenut mitään digitaalista utopismia tai leikkikenttäilyä, kun en ole niitä tarvinnutkaan. Tässä tuli ekaa kertaa feminististä teoriaa lukiessa täti olo.
Genrenä myös hankala. Eniten mitään uutta ja originaalia tässä oli taideteokset ja niiden analysointi. Muuten teoria tuntui kierrätetyltä tai jätti useimmiten avaamatta mitä sanoilla edes tarkoitetaan (mitä ihmettä on kosminen?). Välillä sitten teksti muisti taas olevansa manifesti. Useammin oli vain tajunnanvirtaa jota oli vaikea seurata.

Thought-provoking and brain rearranging, in a good way! I can see myself picking up a physical copy, so I can annotate as I reread, because I don't think audio was the best format for me to absorb *all* the theory and art discussed.

started reading snippets from digital foundations & finally finished! vvv foundational to my love of the glitch, in betweenness, and technofeminism

Reading this book with some context of cyberfeminism and pre-existing texts would probably make this experience more profound and enjoyable, which was my missing link. Still completely comprehensible, but it just didn't hit as hard as I was hoping!

I always love finding more cyberfeminist stuff, though I do think this makes some of the same mistakes as Gender Nihilism where it doesn’t focus too much on the material reasons why gender is enforced and argues for refusal. I do still like it a lot though. I really enjoy the focus on art.

it can be hard writing theory and not just repeating what has come before you. this book is so innovative and perfectly encapsulates how we are now living in the time of 2 universes meshed into one.
