This book reclaims hesitation, ambiguity, and not-knowing as powerful tools to resist the rigid control of digital systems and explores the radical idea that embracing uncertainty is essential in our age of planetary computation. Where machines seek to lock down knowledge, capture potential, dictate futures, and foreclose possibilities, Marenko argues for the cultivation of uncertainty as a form of resistance.By reframing the unknown as a powerful resource, \u003ci\u003eThe Power of Maybes\u003c\/i\u003e presents a bold approach to living and thinking alongside machines without surrendering to their grip. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBlending philosophy, design, and critical tech studies, Marenkochallenges dystopian fears and utopian hopes about technology, and champions new ways of being. Through a transversal approach to uncertainty, futures, machines, design and power, she argues that an allyship with uncertainty is not only possible but necessary to build an alternative to the worst excesses of algorithmic governmentality. By treating uncertainty as a cosmic laboratory to resist the capture of potential and reimagine the encounter with machines, Marenko incites us to live with uncertainty by cultivating modes of knowing, being and resisting that use it as an ally. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor those ready to reclaim their agency in an algorithmic age, this book is a guide to living with oceanic uncertainty -and finding power in it.","brand":"Bloomsbury Visual Arts","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45087551324311,"sku":"9781350377271","price":7319.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781350377271.webp?v=1768545850","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-power-of-maybes-algorithms-uncertainty-and-design-futures-9781350377271","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
