Though refusal is an especially powerful mode--particularly for those who have historically not been given the option to say no--people of color and disabled people have long navigated the space between saying yes and saying no to the newest technologies. \u003ci\u003eTechnoskepticism\u003c\/i\u003e relates some of these stories to reveal the possibilities skepticism can create.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe case for technoskepticism unfolds across three sections: the first focused on disability, the creative use of wellness apps, and the desire for diagnosis; the second on digital nostalgia and home for Black and Asian users who produced communities online before home pages gave way to profiles; and the third focused on the violence inherent in A.I.-generated Black bodies and the possibilities for Black style in the age of A.I. Acknowledging how the urge to refuse new technologies emerges from specific racialized histories, the authors also emphasize how care can look like an exuberant embrace of the new.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Disco Network\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Sensing Media: Aesthetics, Philosophy, and Cultures of Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.82h x 5.98w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503640634","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43398223134857,"sku":"9781503640634","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_12ecf122-6486-44b9-8f69-9a7b329951ce.jpg?v=1740475540","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/technoskepticism-between-possibility-and-refusal-9781503640634","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
