Abstract

In recent years there have been a number of debates and quite a few myths about feminist usage (if not conquest!) of cyberspace. Nonetheless, feminist cyber culture continues to be marginalised both within mainstream media theory and within discourses about popular cyber culture. This is about to change: The anthology Reload, edited by multi-media artist Mary Flanagan and gender studies/media studies scholar Austin Booth, offers plenty of food for thought for a wide audience. The different pieces range from feminist cyber fiction to critical essays on utopias and realities of contemporary cyber culture, cleverly connecting theory and practice.
