"Virtuosic . . . one of our most talented and daring poets . . . Hivestruck crackles with Toro's critical vision and dazzling wit." -John Keene, National Book Award-winning author of Punks- New and Selected Poems

A poet whose work has focused on Puerto Rican and Latinx history and identity poses the question of what makes us human, and technology's part in that process, through a decolonial lens

Vincent Toro's third collection of poetry is a work of Latinx futurism that confronts the enigmatic and paradoxical relationship human beings have with technology. The poems are a tapestry of meditations on social media and surveillance culture, satires on science fiction and the space race, interrogations of artificial intelligence, cyborg economics, and biohacking, and tributes to women and queer and BIPOC people who have contributed and are contributing to human survival and progress in a technology obsessed world.
