Abstract
Ron Wakkary’s Things We Could Design: For More Than Human-Centered Worlds (MIT Press, 2021) aims to rethink the direction of design practice using a posthumanist approach. This book is the result of years of professional and theoretical experience gained by the author in both academia and practice (Everyday Design Studio). Posthumanist exploration of design stands in opposition to the prevailing “art of human design of the last thirty years,” in which human values have been in the service of a “behavioral understanding of what is human” (p. 1). It represents an exploration of the possibilities for a new understanding of human-technology relations and posthumanism, while also addressing issues of accountability, sustainability, and equality.
