""Meeting the Universe Halfway" is highly original, exciting, and important. In this book Karen Barad puts her expertise in feminist studies and quantum physics to superb use, offering agential realism as an important alternative to representationalism."--Arthur Zajonc, coauthor of "The Quantum Challenge: Modern Research on the Foundation of Quantum Mechanics"
