Any recommendations?

I if I had to pic just one, Serial Experiments Lain would be one of the safe choices. Not only was it way ahead of it's time, going as far as to predict online movements like anonymous (knights, in the series), it has many themes that are relevant to this day.

One less known piece is Cloudpunk. This game made me legit fall on tears. It's about how little people carry on under a capitalist dystopia. Which is basically almost how things already are but with flying cars.

Yeah, I personally tend to Julia Serano's understanding of gender (with both innate and social aspects), but the way Haraway talks about it is making me reconsider some stuff.

I would prefer less invasive stuff in general, like having a touch screen on my skin, or having substance scanners and shit. As my body degrades with age I would want to enhance it tough, to the point of reaching digital immortality.

I tend to think it's important to feel vulnerable in our flesh and learning were we came from, before growing to be more than human.

Yeah that one. I've been reflecting on a lot of stuff on feminism, gender and leftist militancy in general, and this text is blowing my mind lol
