This is wonderful, Audrey, thank you for this and for all your work towards wider futures! Encountering your thinking over these last several months has really stretched me and I am very grateful. I recently hosted speculative writer and tech psychologist Ruthanna Emrys on my podcast. (She's a fan of yours too.) She used the phrase "canonical futures" to describe these self-fulfilling tech prophecies that you are talking about. "Canonical futures," "prophecies," these are such helpful shorthand terms for the imagination battle we are in. Gotta say no to all these ways we prematurely lock down the future!! Big thanks!!
