For EXTRA CREDIT to replace your lowest quiz score, please write a 250+ word cyborgian speculative fabulation (a particular form of science fiction) concerning your final paper topic. Through speculative fabulation, Haraway encourages us to consider a future for those who don’t typically get written about (in particular, marginalized individuals and communities) and to write with “tentacular thinking”, a way of acknowledging the many relations of earth, animal, human and technology. In your short piece, describe a scene where the technology you have chosen for your final paper intersects with a particular individual and describe an achievement, a competition, an arrest, a trial, a celebration, a realization that gives us some kind of empowerment narrative or warning for the future. This exercise will be critical for informing “why is this important” for your final paper.
