The world is gradually shifting towards digitization. Social media and the ubiquity of online chats are proof of this, even as the virtual foundation stones of the metaverse are being laid. As another appendage of off-keyboard reality, the digital sphere emulates known diversity-phobic inequalities and even seems to amplify and radicalize them. In contrast, the construction of online communities, the sharing of experiences, collective responses to cyberbullying, or the mere pointing out of things that previously went unpunished give us reason to hope.  

In any case, the online world, like the offline one, is a complex space of violence and resistance that requires texts to be better understood. These texts range from La guerra de deseo y tecnología (Holobionte Ediciones, 2020), a collection of writings by the trans theorist Sandy Stone, a prominent figure in a 1990s cyberfeminism that could still dream of a utopian Internet, to Digital dilemmas (Diana C. Parry. Palgrave McMillan, 2019) and Out online (Tobias Raun. Routledge, 2016), more recent resources that seek to address our contemporary Internet, i.e. an Internet of large monopolistic corporations, hate speech and virtual support communities.
