Anton Poikolainen Rosén is a postdoctoral researcher in Human-Computer Interaction at the Department of Design, Aalto University, Helsinki, Finland, and the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences, Stockholm University, Sweden, studying design for sustainable futures and the more-than-human world. His research themes include critical, circular and multisensory approaches to farming and waste management. Antti Salovaara is a Senior University Lecturer at the Department of Design, Aalto University, Finland. His research develops methods for HCI researchers to anticipate possible futures, particularly with a goal that futuring in HCI would not only consider technology-based factors. Andrea Botero is an Associate Professor at the School of Arts, Design and Architecture of Aalto University. Her research and practice aim to understand how collectives (broadly speaking) come to understand the design spaces available to them, what counts as design, what other practices for world making are there, and which ones we need to call into being. Marie Louise Juul Søndergaard is a designer and researcher exploring feminist design of technologies for human and environmental health. She is curious about how the materiality of human bodies relate with ecologies, and uses research-through-design, participation of communities and speculative storytelling to design for social and environmental justice. She has a PhD in Interaction Design from Aarhus University in Denmark and has been a postdoc at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden and the Oslo School of Architecture and Design in Norway, where she researched somatic approaches in design and more-than-human design.
"""This book represents an important shift in design. As we face global challenges, we need to shift our focus from a human-centred design approach to more-than-human perspectives and values. From using design to serve human needs, we now reconsider this in favour of other species, plants, and other lifeforms - including AI systems. This book is important for anyone approaching sustainability through design, or for anyone who wants to understand or design otherwise - for alternative ways of relating to nature, and alternative futures."" Mikael Wiberg, Professor of Informatics and co-editor-in-chief for ACM Interactions"
