Captivating Technology ...is an excellent collection that is compelling both in rich individual chapters and in the synthetic whole.... One of the strengths of this collective volume is its deliberate use of literary technologies., [ Captivating Technology ] is an ideal in action; unfettered by carceral imaginations, scholars can invent different worlds that replace--and not merely, through reform, extend--the discriminatory societies we have made together., "The book comes at a timely moment, contributing to pressing contemporary conversations about predictive algorithms, bias in AI, new modes of surveillance, and the myriad ways our increasingly technologically mediated lives are experienced unequally along lines of race, class, and gender. . . . Captivating Technology offers a meaningful contribution to public and scholarly discussions of technological (in)justice." - Naomi Zucker (Somatosphere) "Benjamin presents a rich and original contribution to critical studies of race and technoscience." - Clara Hick (Ethnic and Racial Studies) "Captivating Technology is a powerful and deeply creative text that excavates suppressed histories just as much as it works towards building new futures." - Susila Gurusami (Surveillance & Society) "Captivating Technology...is an excellent collection that is compelling both in rich individual chapters and in the synthetic whole....

    Lightening fast shipping— seller shipped in one day. I needed the camera for a trip to Spain/Switzerland and seller made sure I was taken care of and that I got it on time. Seller said item had flaws but I received in mint condition. Communicated quickly and was kind to help me despite their busy schedule. Very well packaged.Thank you
