Embodied Exegesis: Transfeminine Cyberpunk Futures edited by Ann LeBlanc

Embodied Exegesis is an anthology of cyberpunk and posthuman stories written by transfem authors. The included stories explore the limits of the genre: gender-affirming cybernetics, the literary surveillance state, transcendent hive-minds, a transgender coffee machine, and weaponized shitposts. The future of cyberpunk is trans, so stay tuned for an anthology of wild and weird stories exploring the limits of technological transformations of our bodies and minds.

CURATOR'S NOTE

What it says on the tin, and so much more. Sharply written, deeply evocative, this is some of the best cyberpunk out there. That it's told from a transfeminine perspective just makes it better. – Catherine Lundoff and Melissa Scott
