Reader ReviewsLike all anthologies, this book suffers from uneven quality. One or two essays are mediocre at best, one or two are great, and the rest fall somewhere in between. I find Haraway unreadable, the ultimate in academic hype (write enough gibberish and people will think you're a genius), and the interview with her isn't much better, but fortunately she isn't the whole book. Hartouni's thoughts on reproductive discourse are worth reading, and Penley's piece is great -- it revealed a really nifty subculture I'd never realized existed in addition to clarifying just what it was about Mr. Spock that made him so desirable to men and women alike. Overall,I thought this was a fun book to read, although I don't think it'll ever achieve classic status.
