Digital Women and the New Technoculture

Zeroes and Ones

Lattices, matrixes, Neuromancer, Irigary, molecular biology, digits, fluxes, and a whole lot of history. Endlessly informative, captivating, and thought provoking.

A peculiar mix of essays, poetry, philosophy, and the history of information science x gender studies. The book is structured almost like a random train of thought you find yourself in while daydreaming. Like it does have a logical sequence (i guess) and overall.. cohesion.., overall... But it took me aback how unpredictable the journey there was. And to be honest, most of the technical parts just leaked through both of my ears almost right away, but i found the personal and nuanced approach intriguing and novel. The thing i said about poetry, i don't mean poetry poetry per se, the book's just written in cursive sometimes, super whimsical for a non-fiction. And i probably won't read about zeros and ones any other way.

an intricate and deftly-woven tapestry of endlessly interconnected vibes and ideas relating to women, cybernetic systems, technology, sexuality, psychoanalysis, chaos theory, evolution, history, and more. thoroughly enjoyable the whole way through but picks up significantly in the second half. plant's writing is hypnotic and superabundant. highly recommend
