Analyzing myriad technologies, from sex robots and military drones to sharing-economy platforms, Atanasoski and Vora show how liberal structures of antiblackness, settler colonialism, and patriarchy are fundamental to human---machine interactions, as well as the very definition of the human. While these new technologies and engineering projects promise a revolutionary new future, they replicate and reinforce racialized and gendered ideas about devalued work, exploitation, dispossession, and capitalist accumulation. Yet, even as engineers design robots to be more perfect versions of the human—more rational killers, more efficient workers, and tireless companions—the potential exists to develop alternative modes of engineering and technological development in ways that refuse the racial and colonial logics that maintain social hierarchies and inequality.Country/Region of Manufacture: USBook Series: Perverse Modernities: A Series Edited by Jack Halberstam and Lisa LoweGenre: Science Nature & MathTopic: History, Technology & EngineeringRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
