"Although both are connected in a ritual dance, I would rather be a cyborg than a goddess" - Donna Haraway, 1995. Among the many critiques that the manifesto for an accelerationist politics (Williams/Srnicek) has sparked, the denunciation of the project as an expression of a macho technonihilism appears particularly insidious. Those debates that seek to turn accelerationism into a 21st-century futurism, primarily drawing from crude masculinity and the rapid speed of machines, overlook, firstly, its potential for contemporary gender politics and, secondly, its connection to existing technofeminist thought. Dea ex machina attempts to bring back some of the repressed genealogies that illuminate the accelerationist project against the backdrop of 50 years of heterogeneous feminist gender and technology theory. The core text of the book is a manifesto by the collective Laboria Cuboniks, expanded with selected canonical technofeminist voices. Contributions include: Rosi Braidotti: Cyberfeminism with a Difference, Laboria Cuboniks: Manifesto Xenofeminism, Shulamith Firestone: Feminism and Ecology, Donna Haraway: Femaleman meets Oncomouse, Nina Power: Woman-Machines: On the Future of Female Noise Music, Paul B.
