| Abstract | Allucquere Rosanne Stone examines the interface of technology and desire: from busy cyberlabs to the electronic solitude of the Internet, from "virtual cross-dressers" to the trial of a man having raped a woman by seducing one of her multiple personalities. Writing eloquently of creating a "text that breaks rules," Stone employs elements from a wide range of disciplines and genres, including cultural and critical theory, social sciences, pulp journalism, science fiction, and personal memoir |
