Generous and stimulating collection ... of interest to researchers and teachers in a variety of cognate areas ... an excellent introduction to the tangle of questions and issues raised by contemporary technoculture's theoretical constructions of nature, science, subjectivity, bodies and genders ... a complex and wide-ranging exploration of existing techno-representations. Wolmark does a fine job in pulling together some of the most significant feminist essays to consider questions of cyborgs and cyberspace. She balances classics with less canonised pieces, and a range of issues are explored.
