In her fascinating journey into technofeminist resistances ‘from the streets to the screens,’ Christina Grammatikopoulou offers much more than a panoramic vista of contemporary trans-feminist mobilizations against the digitized regimes of intersecting patriarchal, capitalist, colonial and anthropocentric power. Combining cutting-edge research and empirical detail with critical depth and theoretical sophistication, she illuminates the richly diverse, locally grounded but also ground-breaking, paths that trans-feminisms have blazed in intersectional struggles across the globe in order to not only contest but also to overcome these intertwined systems of oppression by configuring new worlds of freedom in common and in plurality, for all lives on earth. Working their ways through bodies, affects, art, infrastructures, performances, digital technologies, critical data collection, glitter and imagination, the practices of resistance and new construction care-fully explored in this inspiring book do not only nourish hope for a better future; they stage a multiplicity of eutopias that pave ways towards such a future. In the last ten years, very few books have managed to capture this protean political creation of transfeminist agency and to convey it so vividly, empathetically and thoughtfully in the same breath. * Alexandros Kioupkiolis, Aristotle University, Greece *
