Niessen urges readers to look beyond the seductions of seamless connectivity and workflow productivity offered by corporate tech, to reflect on how personalised technologies are radically reshaping what it means to be human today. A timely and urgent account that draws on a wide range of ideas from politics, philosophy, urban geography and feminist studies, advancing a new politics of resistance that recalls technology’s emancipatory potentials. -- Sarah Barns, Vice Chancellor’s Senior Research Fellow, The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Australia This ground-breaking book offers a truly much-needed vocabulary to understand and navigate these strange, technocolonial times. I was stunned and alarmed learning more about how smartphones, algorithms and AI are embedded into our lives in unimaginable ways, but also invigorated by the thoughtful, beautifully written and conscientious writing. Niessen integrates feminist values into the book's insightful explorations, and offers a powerful call to resist and to rethink how we live in the digital age. -- Minna Salami, Author of Sensuous Knowledge: A Black Feminist Approach for Everyone
