The war of desire and technology at the close of the mechanical age

Abstract

From the Publisher: Allucquere Rosanne Stone examines the interface of technology and desire: from busy cyberlabs to the electronic solitude of the Internet, from virtual cross-dressers to the trial of a man having raped a woman by seducing one of her multiple personalities. Writing eloquently of creating a text that breaks rules, Stone employs elements from a wide range of disciplines and genres, including cultural and critical theory, social sciences, pulp journalism, science fiction, and personal memoir.
