It tackles three of the most significant challenges for contemporary society by asking: how emerging technologies are implicated in the sites of everyday lives; what place emerging technologies have in an evolving world in crisis; and how we might better imagine and shape ethical, equitable and responsible futures. The book interweaves three narratives, each of which advances three sets of concerns for our societal futures: Emergence', which addresses futures, trust and hope; Worlds', which addresses data, air and energy; and Technologies', which addresses the future of mobi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'What will our future look like? We often think of flying cars, holograms, vacations on a geostationary space station, robots preparing and serving our breakfast, kitchens with flashing buttons reminiscent of a spaceship's cockpit...\u003cbr\u003eThese stereotypical images foreground technologies and hide the humans. This book instead focuses on people and\u003cbr\u003etheir communities to present the key issues that will shape our future. Most importantly, it shows the value of social\u003cbr\u003esciences in designing new technologies for home, mobility, and work. Sarah Pink underscores the need for a new movement that unites anthropologists and other experts in interdisciplinary teams who dare to step to the edge of the future, look at the horizon, and explain how our stories might unfold on our planet and beyond, and how we might live well with emerging technologies.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDan Podjed\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003ePhD, Research Fellow and Associate Professor, Institute for Slovenian Ethnology, Slovenia\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'In this fascinating book, Sarah Pink draws on 20 years of pioneering empirical research and concept-making to examine how ethical, equitable and responsible futures can be produced in a world of rapidly evolving technologies that are designed to serve particular interests.
