Emma: One of my favorites from a feminist SF class I took was "The Girl Who Was Plugged In." by James Tiptree, Jr. / Alice Sheldon. I know it's in the anthology *Her Smoke Rose Up Forever*. It was originally published in 1974 but I think its themes and narrative still apply. Also a good place to check is *The Mammoth Book of SF Stories by Women* although nothing leaps to mind in terms of titles. Much of them were more about relationships to technology and/or space than anything leaning more cyberpunk-ish and that's where it sounds like you're leaning. There's also this list of Afrofuturism which might be worth poking around: http://afrofuturism.net/literature. I have not had the chance to yet. Some good authors to look at are Butler and Hopkinson as well. I have read some short stories by them (nothing that 'fits' the theme) and don't know if they have written anything which would be a better fit. Although, I can say that I enjoyed both authors. Last, this seems like a good place to look as well: https://iansales.com/2014/04/17/women-only-science-fiction-anthologies/ My favorite PK Dick story remains a tie between "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" and "We Can Remember it for You Wholesale." Hope this helps, -Michelle Alexander On Tue, Dec 20, 2016 at 9:37 AM, Emma Stamm <stamm@vt.edu> wrote:
Hello all,
I am putting together a syllabus for an interdisciplinary arts/humanities course that will include a unit on art and culture of the digital age. I am currently seeking short literary fiction and films/video clips I can use to introduce college students (mostly freshmen and sophomores) to "digital culture" in its various forms and guises.
I am particularly interested in works published after 1980, although if anyone can recommend their favorite short stories by Philip K. Dick, William Gibson, women writers and writers of color, I'd be very appreciative.
Thank you so much!
All the best, Emma Stamm
