Workshop uses imaginary design workbooks (ambiguous images and an invented script) and Kurt Vonnegut story shapes to generate narratives about home hubs and voice assistants. A prototype concept—digital social worker—is co-developed with a senior social worker and a case study reveals 75 kids / £75 million spent on a cohort; workshops surface both small benefits (targeted support, sensor-triggered interventions) and serious risks (surveillance, algorithmic bias, automating inequality).
