Technology through a slower, wider lens

Bringing together perspectives from multiple disciplines and knowledge traditions, this volume examines technology as more than a stream of new digital tools. Its contributions consider enduring techniques, alternative possibilities for digital entities, and sources of inspiration beyond dominant approaches to technological development. Feminist, queer, Indigenous, activist, ecological, non-Western, and more-than-human perspectives all inform its exploration of how technology might be understood and imagined. The book is the third installment in Valiz’s Slow Reader series, following volumes on design thinking and spatial practice.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Those interested in future studies and alternative approaches to technology
  • Readers exploring feminist, queer, Indigenous, activist, or ecological perspectives
  • People working across art, academic inquiry, and speculative practice

Book overview

The third installment in Valiz's Slow Reader series explores myriad perspectives on technological futures

Published with Slow Research Lab.

Following Slow Reader: A Resource for Design Thinking and Practice and Slow Spatial Reader: Chronicles of Radical Affection, Slow Technology Reader gathers contributions from diverse disciplinary fields and knowledge traditions to consider technology through a "Slow" lens. It is at once 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 third volume 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 insights of feminist, queer, Indigenous, activist and ecological practices, exploring how these can set new starting points for our technologies and their possibilities.
