This class explores both literature about future technologies and literary technologies that move across periods, regions, and disciplines. Our cultural and historical approach to future histories of technology will illuminate how race, gender and sexuality, class, and nationality structure seemingly neutral research and development, usage, and innovation. Ultimately, our goal is to see how we�re not passive consumers but active participants in reimagining the present and future of technology. Degree credit not granted for this course and ENGL 2046.
