- "First comprehensive monograph, compiled in close collaboration with the artist. Lynn Hershman Leeson is among the first and most influential of media artists. During the past five decades she has achieved pioneering work in the fields of photography, video, film, performance, installation and interactive and net-based media art.

Her most influential performance work is Roberta Breitmore (1973-78) the fictional character that she, then three subsequent female personas, enacted in real time and space, using artifacts of the time. In her most recent works, Lynn Hershman Leeson includes web applications, mass communication media such as smart-phones, as well as the latest scientific developments in the field of genetics and regenerative medicine including 3D bioprinters that create human body parts." from publisher's website.
