«Susanna Paasonen has written a very smart book about how figures of cyborgs and cyberspace have been used and misused to advance or obfuscate feminist discourse on technology. Her analyses organize and conceptualize as well as demystify a web of confusion until a discursive map pops into shape. Paasonen is not a weaver of cyberfantasies but rather Ariadne unraveling a thread that guides us through the labyrinth by telling us where we have been. Her critiques bite in a way that is provocative rather than silencing, inviting us to make fresh statements that will guide us where we want to go.» (Margaret Morse, Professor of Film and Digital Media, University of California Santa Cruz)
