In a present marked by planetary crisis, a radical rethinking of aesthetics is necessary. This inspirational collection proposes a new way of thinking about aesthetics as fundamental to cultivating more liveable futures. Drawing on the philosophies of Alfred North Whitehead and Félix Guattari, the book develops aesthetics as central to all more-than-human forms of experience, including knowledge practices. Each contribution invites readers on an adventure to explore how this broader view of aesthetics can reshape areas including biomedicine, geological forensics, nuclear waste, race, as well as arts and education. This is an agenda-setting contribution to understanding the significance of aesthetics in science and technology studies, as well social and cultural research more broadly.

Available open access digitally under CC BY-NC-ND licence. Do our tools for knowing about the world actually obscure important knowledge? This book uncovers how knowledge infrastructures—including satellite tracking, climate models, machine learning and citizen science apps—shape our understanding of contemporary crises. Rooted in logics of resource assessment, these systems often reinforce extractive thinking, even when intended to protect. Beaulieu calls for a radical focus on relations to reimagine liveable futures: from monitoring and measuring to fostering connection, care and interdependence. Drawing on science and technology studies and feminist critique, this book offers tools for transforming data practices, designing more responsive interfaces and building better infrastructures of survival.

Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.How can we nurture more liveable worlds in today’s neoliberal academia and beyond?This collection revisits the notion of reflexivity from a science and technology studies (STS) perspective, asking how researchers are affected by, and affect, the worlds they engage with. Using experimental formats that challenge academic convention, the volume acknowledges the ‘dark sides’ of reflexivity, while insisting that it is nonetheless worthwhile striving for it.This volume is essential for anyone interested in creative, playful and always incomplete attempts to refresh reflexivity in research, and in developing more liveable worlds for ourselves and those our research engages with.

Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.Machine learning shapes what we see, know and decide, yet the processes through which it operates often remain obscure. This bold and original book brings feminist theories of knowledge into direct dialogue with algorithmic systems design, revealing how machine learning systems encode power, difference and historical bias into their mathematical operations. Moving from critical analysis to creative intervention, it explores three widely used algorithms to show how design choices shape outcomes and embed social assumptions, before proposing radical new design strategies rooted in appropriation and experimentation.The result is a compelling call for a transdisciplinary critical technical practice - one that places feminist and new materialist thinking at the heart of how we build intelligent systems.
