and feminism is a laudable accomplishment and an example of the
multiple levels of analysis required by digital technologies.' -

'This is an important contribution to critiques of artificial
intelligence, which have noted the asocial view of human
intelligence enacted by its designers, but not hitherto seen this
in the light of gender relations. Adam also makes a significant
contribution to feminist epistemology by applying it to a field of
practice in a way that makes clear its implications for the kinds
of object which are produced.' - Work Employment & Society
