在这一批判中，我们通过诸如“未来锥体”之类的修辞手段，对设计和计算话语中技术未来的框架提出了问题，我们认为这种修辞手段促进了一个世界的视角，因为它假设集体（西方）接受特定的历史性以及时间和进步的概念。这种观点目前主导着许多新技术设备和系统的实际设计和实现。为了对抗这些正统观念，我们采用了另一种观点，主要来自巴西哲学家阿尔瓦罗·维埃拉·平托的作品，他认为过去和未来是由现在塑造的——一个由于不断变化而开放和创造性的现在。我们的观点也借鉴了面向对象本体论、异形现象学和未来学，重新考虑“人类”作为人类和非人类行为体复杂组合的一部分的特权，这些行为体具有相互依存的关系，但在独立的视角内运作。我们的新框架使我们能够开发和促进超越人类的可持续技术未来的设计实践，超越纯粹的人类考虑，并开始适应非人类实体的未来，包括技术和生态（植物，动物和气候）。为了使我们的论点具体化，我们提出了一系列与物联网相关的例子，这些例子应用投机设计技术来说明如何将超越人类的可持续技术未来投入到可操作的设计实践中。
In this critique, we problematize the framing of technological futures in design and computing discourse through rhetorical devices such as the Futures Cone which we contend promotes a one-world-world perspective, in that it assumes a collective (western) acceptance of a particular historicity and notions of time and progress. This perspective currently dominates the practical design and implementation of many new technological devices and systems. To counter such orthodoxies, we instead adopt an alternate perspective which primarily draws from the work of Brazilian philosopher Alvaro Vieira Pinto who considered the past and the future as shaped by the present – a present that is open and creative due to constant change. Our perspective also draws upon Object-Oriented Ontology, Alien Phenomenology and Defuturing to reconsider the privileging of ‘human’ as part of complex assemblages of human and non-human actants which have interdependent relationships but operate within independent perspectives. Our novel framing enables us to develop and promote design practices for More-than-Human sustainable technological futures that go beyond purely human considerations and begin to accommodate futures for non-human entities, both technological and ecological (flora, fauna and climate). To concretise our argument, we present a series of Internet of Things related examples that apply Speculative Design techniques to illustrate how More-than-Human sustainable technological futures may be put into actionable design practice.
