It raises crucial questions about the constitution of technological futures and the roles that anthropologists can play in shaping them. It examines how anthropologists engage with these technologies within their fieldwork contexts, employing research to influence future design and innovation. The book also proposes critical and interventional approaches to technology design and innovation, aiming to create a more equitable and sustainable future. Furthermore, it explores how a critical anthropology of the everyday experiences of emerging technologies can provide valuable insights for future-making practices. In response to a call for new anthropologies that adapt to the rapidly changing technological environments, this book asserts that anthropology must go beyond critical thinking and propose alternative ways of approaching and engaging with the future. Rooted in ethnography, it advocates for a public, vocal, and interventional approach, challenging dominant narratives of industry, policy, and government and responding to our contemporary context through a proactive and engaged stance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781350144910\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44103842267386,"sku":"9781350144910","price":29.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_374bda35-fdda-498f-9094-80ebd7fb52f2.jpg?v=1646908080","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/an-anthropology-of-futures-and-tech-9781350144910","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
