In a moment when Silicon Valley constrains how we think about technology to serve its commercial interests, Le Guin offers us a liberatory alternative. Instead of fetishizing digitization, her broader conception allows us to embrace more mundane technologies that have stood the test of time—for instance the bicycle, the bus, and the train—and to see how they can materially improve our lives in a much more equitable way than the elite, apolitical visions on offer by the so-called visionaries of the tech industry.
