Sociotechnical Imaginaries

Sociotechnical imaginaries are shared visions of the future that connect society's goals with technological development. They reflect collective hopes, ambitions, or fears about how technology can shape our world. These imaginary narratives influence policies, research, and innovation by shaping what societies aim to achieve through technological progress. Essentially, they are the stories societies tell themselves about what is possible and desirable with technology, guiding both public opinion and decision-making.
