The 2021 iteration of Networked Narratives focused on the ways we are shaped both individually and societally by technologies of surveillance, data mining, and algorithmic influence. Through the lead of our class pathfinders, we explored the role of care, digital citizenship and digital wellbeing, and the way we can build meaningful online community. Our shared work this year aims to imagine a post-pandemic future for education at a fictitious Post Pandemic University (PPU) via speculative fiction. Our writers have crafted microfiction stories (less than 500 words) to portray what the individual experiences at PPU might look like.

In the 2020 version of Networked Narratives, we have examined why the narrative forms of “Screening Surveillance” and “Black Mirror” are so compelling. They often build upon our existing anxieties about technology and push them just a step farther.   In this class's “Net Mirror”, we take a final turn to create speculative fiction(s) to help synthesize our concerns/wisdom/fears regarding our relationship with technology. We will think through the possible consequences of new technology by creating a collection of stories that push are imagination one step further.
