"A diverse yet coherent collection of essays that each contribute something singular while transitioning seamlessly from one piece to the next. Indeed, the text accomplishes the editors’ stated purpose to ‘explicitly explore the overlaps between two or more of our key words’ (9). The authors’ syndetic considerations of performance, gender and biopolitics map the intricate world of Orphan Black to reveal that our present is very much implicated in the futures the series imagines. . . . [It] offers fruitful analyses of both the series and its genre and the wider theoretical networks that lend it its significance. This work on Orphan Black delivers complex engagements with film theory, community, technology, biopolitics, immunity studies, disability studies, female identity, performance and many other lenses too diverse to list here. Its essays would be instrumental to scholars considering the series from myriad positions. . . . This collection presents theoretical frameworks and compelling readings that structure the series for readers, provoking new lines of inquiry. . . . Orphan Black occupies an interesting liminality in its near-futurity that prompts us to look for sf within our own lives. This collection captures that self-relationality and tracks its evolution into new ways of being together, serving as an intriguing jumping-off point for future work on Orphan Black and cloning fiction in general."
