Slow Technology Reader gathers contributions from diverse disciplinary fields and knowledge traditions to consider technology through a ‘Slow’ lens. The book is artistic, academic, and speculative, probing alternative potentials of the digital entities proliferating in our midst, examining tools and techniques that have endured the test of time, and looking to non-Western and more-than-human sources to inspire technological futures. This new volume in the Slow Reader series aims to enlarge the parameters of how technology is understood, offering examples and inspiration beyond the limited perspectives and legacy structures that dominate technological development today. It includes the rich insights of feminist, queer, Indigenous, activist, and ecological practices, exploring how these can set new starting points for our technologies and their possibilities for (re)shaping the world. At a time when technology reaches into nearly every facet of planetary existence, Slow Technology Reader commits to disrupt and recalibrate people’s sense of what technology is and can be, illuminating ‘Slower’, more expansive pathways forward.
