A designed and bound 60 page booklet of Haraway's foundational text A Cyborg Manifesto. Specific page materials and typographic treatment were the focus of this project.

An opened book showing a white page with narrow columns of blue text and a diffused metallic page opposite it.

The cover is an off-white 120lb sheet with vintage floral wallpaper. The back cover is 1/8" white acrylic. When holding the book, the reader is always touching at least three different materials at the same time.

The text is set in narrow columns to complement the poetic and open-ended language Haraway implements.

Insert pages of different materials serve to complement and divide the text including: metallic and transluscent papers, loose synthetic fiber mesh, and fuzzy yellow felt.

The book is opened to show many pages at once.
