Intersectional Tech is a groundbreaking contribution to the growing body of work on race and technology. Gray weaves together incisive structural critique with a nuanced handling of the daily life and experiences of Black gamers. We see how oppressive systems are stood up and circulated in gaming, yet also never lose sight of the continued ways people push back, create sustainable communities for themselves, and seek to dismantle these systems. This is a must read book.
