Summary

Critics Review
“Drawing on every discipline from gender studies to demonology, the deeply irreverent Cute Accelerationism challenged everything I thought I knew about human nature.”—Parker Mumford, The Provincetown Independent“What I adore about Amy Ireland and Maya B. Kronic’s recently published Cute Accelerationism (2024) is that they make cute an aesthetic concept. They sift through the detritus of 21st-century media culture to find not just a pattern but a project: their book is, indeed, cute. Reading it gives me a fuzzy, giddy sensation, enjoyable and stimulating, like a vibrator on its lowest setting. I want it, and it also points to wanting something more.”—McKenzie Wark, Frieze
