Sophia has an extensive interview in this book published by McFarland about indie sci-fi cinema (and we got the cover image!). It is broken into chapters on sci-fi subgenres. Magnetic is in the section on "Confronting Global Disasters":
"Using a single lead character to stand in as every individual human being in the world, Magnetic is an audacious and surreal journey. Extrapolating long-held fears of societal breakdown and imminent destruction that surface in times of rapid human advancement or global tragedy, the film's visual flair and stream-of-consciousness narrative turn these fears into intensely personal elements. Commenting obliquely on feminism, free will, and the resistance of analog technology to obsolescence, Magnetic is undoubtedly one of the more unique and singular films covered in this book."
