"Emphasizing how the selfie expresses and creates relations of various kinds, Selfie Aesthetics is a theoretically sophisticated addition to a body of scholarship that has increasingly, over the last decade, emphasized the selfie as a set of social practices."

"Morse’s book not only expands upon the theoretical importance of trans selfies but is a project of political necessity in its insistence that trans lives must, without equivocation, translate into tenable futures where security and equality can be affirmed."

"Arriving on the scene at a moment of politically charged vitriol aimed towards trans people, Morse’s book presents a prescient intervention for reckoning with the materiality of the now as well as the trans futures to come. . . . By focusing on the formal techniques through which selfies are realized, Morse urges viewers to zoom in on the quotidian, to remain open to the possibilities hidden beneath algorithmic and capitalistic demands, and to critically examine the seemingly fixed and determined capacities of self-representation, self-reflexivity and self-constitution."
