'If both are connected in a ritual dance, I would rather be a cyborg than a goddess' - Donna Haraway, 1995 Of the many criticisms that the 'Manifesto for an Accelerationist Politics' (Williams/Srnicek) has triggered, the denunciation of the project appears as an expression of a machist technique onihilism as a particularly malicious. In doing so, those debates that want to make accelerationism a futurism of the 21st century, which draws mainly from rough masculinity and rapid speed of machines, overlook, first, its potential for current gender policy and secondly its bond to existing technofeminist thinking. 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. Core text of the book is a manifesto of the collective Laboria Cuboniks, expanded to include selected canonical technofeminist voices.
