In this course
Adrienne Maree Brown appears in this course primarily as a theorist of feminist, collective, and care-centered approaches to technology and social futures, invoked alongside Le Guin's carrier bag theory to reframe technological history around gathering and relationality rather than domination.

She functions as a conceptual bridge between speculative fiction, care ethics, and practical community-oriented approaches to technology that the course positions as counterweights to techno-utopianism.
