"one can read Haraway as making this more, rather than less vulgar. She asks messy questions about how gender and sexuality are caught up in productive and reproductive labor – and even in relations that are not obviously either [...] the cyborg is among other things a kind of counter-myth. Buried within the knotty writing of that text is a nugget of science fiction, drawing in particular on feminist utopian and science fiction writing. A contemporary writer who I think takes this kind of project to the next level is Kim Stanley Robinson. He is unapologetically a science fiction genre writer aiming at a popular – and in that sense ‘vulgar’ – readership [...] The sciences are a source of not only specific forms of knowledge in Robinson but also orientations to working in and against nature. One of the problems he highlights – not unlike Bogdanov – is how different labors and forms of technical knowledge can coordinate and cooperate in the absence of an overarching philosophical master-code.
