Le Guin tells the story of human origin by redefining technology as a cultural carrier bag rather than a weapon of domination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHacking the linear, progressive mode of the Techno-Heroic, the Carrier Bag Theory of human evolution proposes: ‘before the tool that forces energy outward, we made the tool that brings energy home.’ Prior to the preeminence of sticks, swords and the Hero’s killing tools, our ancestors’ greatest invention was the container: the basket of wild oats, the medicine bundle, the net made of your own hair, the home, the shrine, the place that contains whatever is sacred. The recipient, the holder, the story. The bag of stars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis influential essay opens a portal to terra ignota, where the possibilities of human experience and knowledge can be discovered anew. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"edition-single--book-description\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"edition-single--book-reviews js-isReadmoreized\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"edition-single--book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublished by Ignota\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSoftcover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e42 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e110 x 160 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN 9781999675998\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ignota","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42926103658710,"sku":"TCBTOFUKLG","price":8.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2538\/3478\/products\/Screenshot2022-05-11at12.46.28.png?v=1652269601","url":"https:\/\/www.thelibraryproject.ie\/no\/products\/the-carrier-bag-theory-of-fiction-ursula-k-le-guin","provider":"The Library Project","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
