In the age of cybernetic capitalism, the impact of information sciences and technologies on the understanding of the body, sex, and reproduction points to a new relationship between nature, technology, and feminine desire.1 In this article, I engage with this relationship by drawing on the feminist intervention against the sex-gender system of identification based on the nature-culture, mind-body binarism. In particular, the emphasis on sexual difference and feminine desire in feminist cultural criticism has entailed a politics of disentanglement of sex from sexual reproduction, of desire from the economy of charge and discharge, and of femininity from organic nature. Yet, in this article, the notion of feminine desire further engages with the notion of nature. In particular, my critique of theories of evolution based on the centrality of sexual reproduction to ensure the complexification of life not only questions the assimilation of nature and women but more fundamentally challenges the teleological metaphysics of nature on which this assimilation depends.
