Furious

‘Furious rips beyond the vanity of know-it-all analysis to offer long-awaited new ways of thinking, feeling, and writing. Cunningly crafted by an authorial trio, it bewitches with performative feminist energies. I dare you to read it’ – Sally-Jane Norman, Founding Director of the Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts at the University of Sussex‘A rare gem of a book, Furious makes a sharp, critical feminist intervention in digital media research demonstrating the power of thinking together, going against the conventions of academic writing, and creating good trouble’ – Susanna Paasonen, co-author of ‘NSFW: Sex, Humor, and Risk in Social Media’‘This wide-ranging and imaginative book makes a compelling case for a feminist techno-politics which challenges to the core the masculinist grip of computational culture and science. It’s also a book which pays fine attention to the process of writing’ – Angela McRobbie, author of ‘Be Creative: Making a Living in the New Culture Industries’‘A passionate guidebook to feminist theorising that refuses data as self-evident patterns and theory as beautiful abstractions, while insisting on the generative power of writing, fabulation, and future making’ – Lucy Suchman, author of ‘Feminist STS and the Sciences of the Artificial’‘Combining clarity with rational ire, Furious insists on the power of insurgent, intersectional feminist epistemologies to disrupt, inspire, and transform. This collective feminist tour de force writes us a new course, away from the technophilic belief that technology will fix what ails the contemporary world and toward a critical and temperate utopianism’ – Carol Stabile, author of ‘The Broadcast 41: Women and the Anti-Communist Blacklist’
