"In the early 1990s, the term "cyberfeminism" came into use as a way to describe feminist critique, theorization, and a general reimagining of the internet and new media. In designer Mindy Seu's telling, it "was meant as an oxymoron or provocation, a critique of the cyberbabes and fembots that stocked the sci-fi landscapes of the 1980s." The history of the internet is stocked with rundowns of engineering marvels, the military-industrial complex, and profiles of the grandfathers of the architecture and protocol. But the internet is not only a network of cables, servers, and computers. It is, crucially, an environment that shapes-and is shaped by-its inhabitants. Throughout these pages, scholars, hackers, artists, and activists consider how humans might reconstruct themselves by way of technology. Comprised of over 1000 short entries of radical techno-critical activism and edited collections of foundational and influential works from the movement, Cyberfeminism is both a resource and a sociopolitical act. Contributors include curator Legacy Russell, artist Melanie Hoff, artist-bio-hacker Mary Maggic, Sonic Cyberfeminisms founder Annie Goh, guerilla theorist Neema Githere, and others. Both a vital introduction for laypeople and a robust resource guide for educators, Cyberfeminism-and anti-canon, of sorts-celebrates the multiplicity of practices that fall under this imperfect categorization and makes visible cyberfeminism's long-ignored origins and its expansive legacy"--
