WorldbuildingThe Engineering Imagination\nAuthor(s): Jenn Stroud Rossmann\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Polity Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Polity Press\nISBN-13: 9781509567133, 978-1509567133\nSynopsis\nEngineers across the globe are building our future and, by extension, our world. But how can these engineers whose educations have often encoded historical gendered, raced, competitive, and capitalist norms responsibly engage in worldbuilding, which is both an art and a science? How can we better prepare the next generation to build a world that is more inclusive and intersectional?\n\nIn this concise and accessible book, writer and engineer Jenn Stroud Rossmann argues that we need to upgrade the \""engineering imagination\"". By interrogating engineering's history and storytelling traditions, she reveals how we could better understand and anticipate the impacts and implications of new technology and so better envision alternative futures. Far from being a merely technical science.
