Beyond Human-Centric Management
An exploration of our evolving relationship with technology, blending design fiction, visual essays, and incisive commentary.
Non-Humans at Work
The dawn of a new epoch often arrives without fanfare–a subtle shift in the wind, an almost imperceptible change in the cadence of daily life.
So it was with the advent of non-human knowledge workers.
In the past two decades, the emergence and rapid proliferation of non-human knowledge workers has quietly reshaped the contours of our corporate cultural landscape.
This book offers a singular vision woven through a mosaic of perspectives on the profound transformation of the corporate landscape wrought by these artificial intellects and their ambiguous legacy. As an anthology, it gathers diverse voices, each contributing a unique thread to this reach tapestry. As a monograph, it presents a cohesive exploration of the central theme, delving deeply with the rigor and insight of a seasoned observer. This duality enriches the work, providing the breadth and depth the subject demands.
A series of written and visual essays featuring incisive commentary and evocative artistry, weave narratives as unsettling as they are illuminating. These pages do not seek to reassure you but to invite you to gaze unflinchingly at the world we have created–a landscape of sublime possibilities shadowed by disquieting realities. They beckon you to question, to reflect, and perhaps to reconsider the silent agreements we’ve made with the technologies that shape our lives.
Practice-based Master’s Thesis project in collaboration with Near Future Laboratory, California. Under the mentorship of Julian Bleecker, I used design fiction to probe organizational futures and interrogate how non-human knowledge workers might reshape organizational cultures beyond human-centric paradigms.
