She has offered a rich description of our rapidly changing technological environment! and of the various complex modes of engagment that are offered to us by the digital interface. Her emphasis on the material and bodily character of our 'encounters' with digital media! of our agency in a highly mediated world! is a welcome antidote to more pessimistic accounts of digital culture." - Marc Furstenau!
