520 _aCyborgs, Ethics and The Matrix is a wonderfully sharp and insightful book on the massively popular The Matrix franchise and its intersections with crucial debates about gender, sex, trans-, and really who gets to count as human. Compellingly written, this book is of interest to fans of the franchise and those of us who care about those different from ourselves. Steen Ledet Christiansen, Associate Professor of English at Aalborg University, Denmark "Like the franchise itself, Gibson's book is at once deeply philosophical and yet exceptionally accessible, making it a necessary read for academic and general audiences alike. - Liz W Faber, Assistant Professor of English & Communication at Dean College, USA The Matrix (Lana Wachowski and Lilly Wachowski 1999) has permeated our cultural consciousness for two decades, working its way into such common parlance as a glitch in the Matrix, and the idea of taking the Red Pill.
