About

Anna Eposito is a provocative and emerging voice in the philosophy of technology and media studies, whose work interrogates the intimate, often unsettling, intersections between desire, embodiment, and the inorganic. Her most-cited paper, "The Desiring Algorithm. The Sex Appeal of the Inorganic" (2020, 5 citations), serves as a cornerstone of her research, exploring how algorithms and artificial systems are not merely tools but objects of fascination and erotic investment. Eposito’s major contribution lies in her ability to fuse psychoanalytic theory with media archaeology, arguing that our attraction to the non-living—from sleek devices to predictive code—reveals deep, often repressed, structures of human longing. Though her citation count is modest, reflecting the niche and nascent nature of her field, her work is gaining traction among scholars of posthumanism and digital culture for its bold, lyrical prose and its challenge to conventional boundaries between the organic and the synthetic. Eposito’s research offers a compelling lens for students and researchers seeking to understand how technology reshapes not just our world, but our very desires.
