In the ambivalence of the cyborg, we recognise the Young-Girl. Like the cyborg, she stands for forms of work and life that have been rendered vulnerable to exploitation by their entanglement with techno-scientific capitalism, but also for forms of what Haraway calls ‘emerging pleasures, experiences, and powers with serious potential for changing the rules of the game’. If much current evidence of online culture, as we will see in Chapter 4, is discouraging, the jury is still out on whether the intensification of online social life will ultimately lead to narcissistic self-annihilation or a revolution of our platforms and our economy that might render Tiqqun’s description of the imperial Young-Girl unrecognisable to otherwise technically mediated futures.
