A Sexual History of the Internet

(PRE-ORDER)

THIS BOOK IS A HISTORY.
It gathers anecdotes, artworks, and historical artifacts that expose the intimate, perverted, and playful origins of our digital tools.

THIS BOOK IS A SCRIPT.
It documents A Sexual History of the Internet, a participatory lecture-performance told through the audience’s phones — a polyvocal story where citations are read aloud collectively: performance as re-citation.

THIS BOOK IS AN EXPERIMENT.
This book is a fiscal experiment of redistribution. Containing citations from 45 contributors who have shaped Seu’s understanding of the internet, sex, and sexual technologies, its profit model — “Citational Splits” — shares revenue directly with all cited voices, proposing a radical new model of authorship and attribution.

Written by Mindy Seu, artist, technologist, and educator based between New York and Los Angeles, whose practice explores the materiality and poetics of the internet, cyberfeminism, and collective knowledge systems. Following her acclaimed Cyberfeminism Index (Rhizome / Graham Foundation, 2023), this new publication extends her research into the embodied histories of digital culture.
