This book offers a crip perspective on the interplay between digital media and embodied experience. It champions the insights of disabled people, arguing for a cyberspace that is inclusive, sensual, and creatively rich. This book intertwines personal narrative with contemporary art, crip theory, cyberfeminism, and philosophy, presenting a nuanced understanding of how alternative embodiments thrive in digital spaces. This book is not only a personal narrative but also a critical, theoretical exploration that invites readers to rethink the boundaries of digital and physical embodiment.
