The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction (Second Edition)

In this title Ursula K. Le Guin tells the story of human origin by redefining technology as a cultural carrier bag rather than a weapon of domination. Hacking the linear, progressive mode of the Techno-Heroic, Le Guin proposes: "before the tool that forces energy outward, we made the tool that brings energy home". This influential essay opens a portal to terra ignota, where the possibilities of human experience and knowledge can be discovered anew. Introduction by Donna Haraway.
