EmTech Anthropology: Careers at the Frontier emphasizes anthropology's critical role at the frontier of emerging technologies (EmTech). The book explores the opportunities and challenges that arise as anthropologists venture into the territory of EmTech, pushing the boundaries of traditional academic approaches and methodologies.
By sharing the stories and insights of early to mid-career anthropologists working in AI, robotics, Web3, cybersecurity, and other cutting-edge fields, the book provides a possible roadmap for future practitioners seeking to make an impact in the world of EmTech. These anthropologists demonstrate how the discipline's unique perspective and skills can be applied to address the complex ethical, social, and cultural implications of emerging technologies.
The volume showcases how anthropologists can act as visionaries, innovators, and early adopters, shaping the trajectory of EmTech towards more ethical, equitable, inclusive, and sustainable futures. It highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, practical impact, and intervention in EmTech contexts while also acknowledging the need for anthropologists to challenge existing narratives and push the boundaries of the discipline itself.
EmTech Anthropology: Stories from the Frontier serves as an essential resource for anthropologists, students, and professionals from related disciplines who are interested in exploring the frontiers of anthropology and emerging technologies. By offering a glimpse into the exciting possibilities and compelling insights that emerge when anthropology meets EmTech, the book inspires and guides the next generation of anthropological innovators.

A healthy, heartfelt piece of food for thought for all anthropologists who work in interdisciplinary teams - and not least those who do not, yet! Served with humor, the authors remind us to move beyond our anthro-egos and embrace the perspectives of "the other" to enable the impact of our discipline. The brilliance of the argument, is that we must shift our own perspectives and look outwards, to enable making own perspectives relevant, for the sake of a better future of tech.

This book presents a compelling premise: anthropology, once a prominent public platform for voicing concerns, lost its way in higher education and society. But anthropologists in business today are intervening to create meaningful change by confronting our most vexing human problems. The authors detail how a new generation of business anthropologists are applying their knowledge to shape sociotechnical transformations in AI, robotics, genetic engineering, and other emerging technologies, while addressing what it means to be human. Readers can enjoy a series of rich, informative, and descriptive stories of careers, choices, and actions that anthropologists take to make transformational change happen, and it comes at a highly relevant time: to portend not just the future of technology but potential futures of humankind.

Anthropology is in the throes of change as fieldwork and problem solving are expanding rapidly into organizational settings, particularly in tech. Today's trailblazers are partnering with others as active problem solvers at the "cutting edge." Gone is anthropology's insularity, as new theory, methods, and models are tested and put to use serving diverse communities. These anthropology innovators bring a "solutions mindset" to their work as they reinvent what anthropology is and demonstrate its value and impact.
