Through rich ethnographic, historical, and legal accounts, the collection shines a much-needed light on the ways in which technologies are reconfiguring kin and families, including for transgender people and queer communities. The volume's focus on the Asia-Pacific is also novel and timely, given regional concerns over low fertility amidst the exploitation of surrogate women's bodies. In short, this is a must-read volume for anyone interested in gender, technology, and globally mediated quests for conception. -- Marcia C.
