Zusatztext This book should be of interest to those engaged in theorizing the entangled temporalities of past! present! and future! and to those concerned with the practical! political! and economic conditions in which professional design assumes its place in practices of future making. Most importantly! the futures imagined here are those in which the figure of design itself is subject to radical anthropological transformation.
