"The Cybernetic Border is an in-depth and long-overdue interrogation of the complicated history and brutal impacts of America's evolving technological war against migrants. Iván Chaar López's book is a must-read for scholars of migration, science and technology studies, and American history that examines the increasingly blurred line between science fiction and reality along the US-Mexico border while giving us a frightening look into the future of global boundary enforcement."–Jason De León, author of "Soldiers and Kings: Survival and Hope in the World of Human Smuggling"
