In The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, insíonn an t-údar aislingeach Ursula K. Le Guin scéal bhunús an duine trí theicneolaíocht a ath-shainmhíniú mar mhála iompróra cultúrtha seachas mar arm forlámhas.
Agus modh líneach forásach an Teicne-Laoch á hackáil, molann Teoiric na Mála Iompróra ar éabhlóid an duine: 'roimh an uirlis a fhórsaíonn fuinneamh amach, rinneamar an uirlis a thugann fuinneamh abhaile.' Sular tháinig maidí, claimhte agus uirlisí maraithe na Laoch chun tosaigh, ba é an t-aireagán ba mhó a bhí ag ár sinsir ná an coimeádán: an ciseán coirce fiáin, an beart míochaine, an líontán déanta de do chuid gruaige féin, an baile, an scrín, an áit sin tá cibé rud atá naofa. An faighteoir, an sealbhóir, an scéal. An mála na réaltaí.
Osclaíonn an aiste tionchair seo tairseach chuig terra ignota, áit ar féidir féidearthachtaí taithí agus eolais an duine a aimsiú as an nua.
