Recenzii
"How do we envision the so-called threat of an impending 'Asian Century'? And, as importantly, how do we feel about it? This extraordinary sequel gives us the critical insights and imaginative tools to understand a technologically driven future that is at once terrifying and desirable."
"Whereas the original defined and limned the inner workings of an emerging mode of racial discourse, Techno-Orientalism 2.0 arrives at the apex of techno-orientalism, in a time when we are inundated with the images and imaginings of a techno-orientalist future that shape and structure our present. An electrified expansion into broader networks, this volume follows the proliferating mainstream discourse of techno-orientalism by broadening its scope, looking at our present through a sharp and unblemished lens, and venturing from the heights of our futuristic imaginations to the depths of our structured material world."
"This dazzling project marks both the extraordinary success of the first edited collection in making legible techno-orientalism as a subfield of study and the critical importance of analyzing how the conditions—of emergence, of legibility, and of future possibility—animating this subfield continue to evolve given the latest geopolitical realignments between Asia and the West. By arguing that techno-orientalism has transcended its initial focus on speculative fiction and Asiatic signifiers to develop into a 'mode of revelation,' this volume generatively shifts critical attention from subjects to structures and productively demonstrates how Asian American studies has begun to think in more geographically and conceptually expansive ways about race, genre, form, and function."

Descriere
Techno-Orientalism 2.0 addresses the impact of a volatile post-COVID present on speculative futures by and about Asians. The volume engages with techno-Orientalist inflections in recent high-profile and lesser-known Asian and Asian American speculative fiction, film, television, anime, art, music, journalism, architecture, state-sponsored policy and infrastructural projects, and the now-dominant China Panic.
