"In an era of accelerating technology and increasing complexity, how should we reimagine
the emancipatory potential of feminism? How should gender politics be reconfigured
in a world being transformed by automation, globalization and the digital revolution?
These questions are addressed in this bold new book by Helen Hester, a founding member
of the 'Laboria Cuboniks' collective that developed the acclaimed manifesto 'Xenofeminism:
A Politics for Alienation'. Hester develops a three-part definition of xenofeminism
grounded in the ideas of technomaterialism, anti-naturalism, and gender abolitionism.
She elaborates these ideas in relation to assistive reproductive technologies and
interrogates the relationship between reproduction and futurity, while steering clear
of a problematic anti-natalism. Finally, she examines what xenofeminist technologies
might look like in practice, using the history of one specific device to argue for
a future-oriented gender politics that can facilitate alternative models of reproduction.
Challenging and iconoclastic, this visionary book is the essential guide to one of
the most exciting intellectual trends in contemporary feminism."
