- Dorothee Brantz, Technische Universität Berlin,
<p>This rich collection chronicles some of the ways technologies shape human relationships with animals. While some of these relationships are exploitative, here also are chronicled relations of care and symbiotic partnerships. The case studies are fascinating, the analysis consistently attuned to the complexities of these entanglements.</p>
- Emma Marris, author of Wild Souls: Freedom and Flourishing in the Non-human World,
<p>How are our relationships with animals mediated by technology and what are the ethical and moral implications of those entanglements? Through case studies that range across species, spaces, and times, this critically important collection explores how technologies—whether tracking devices, cameras, or monitoring tools—both connect and alienate us from animals, creating opportunities for both greater understanding and exploitation.</p>
