THIS BOOK IS A HISTORY. It gathers anecdotes, artworks, and historical artifacts that reveal the pervasive and perverted origins of our digital tools.

THIS BOOK IS A SCRIPT. It documents A Sexual History of the Internet, a participatory lecture performance told through the audience’s phones. It is a polyvocal story, whose citations are read aloud by the audience — performance as re-citation.

THIS BOOK IS AN EXPERIMENT. This book is a fiscal experiment of redistribution. In it, you’ll find citations by 45 people who have shaped my understanding of the internet, sex, and sexual technologies. When you buy this book, they will split a percentage of profits. We call this experiment “Citational Splits,” a new model of attribution.

This Metalabel release makes available 5000 first-edition copies of the book.

This eponymous artist book is published alongside A SEXUAL HISTORY OF THE INTERNET, a participatory lecture performance told through the audience’s phones. For more information about this performance and tour, please visit https://asexualhistoryoftheinternet.com/.
