""Intense burn out is ironically the goal of neoliberal biopolitics – this innovative book on Cyberpunk explores the temporality between the promises and the failures letting people slowly die in the accelerating shadows…"" Geoffrey Whitehall, Acadia University ""Caroline Alphin’s book is on the leading edge of international political theory. It aptly tells the story of how neoliberalism produces new forms of social, technological, and embodied existence. Alphin pushes the reader to ask difficult questions about the taken for granted ways in which neoliberalism perpetuates itself via mechanisms ranging from the fitbit to the biohacker. It is an impressive book, which should be read by anyone interested in understanding the politics of modern cityscapes."" Jessica Auchter, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Tennessee Chattanooga
