Customer Reviews
A classroom must-have!
Meehaneeto is a graphic novel that creatively investigates the transformation of the Eleuseeto society after the introduction of technology and artificial intelligence. The Eleuseeto society in many ways mirrors our own. Technology has changed rote and labour-intensive tasks and how people connect with one another and access information. The people in Eleuseeto have more time, but how are they filling it? They have more social connections, but are they more or less meaningful? The story explores the potential social, economic and environmental consequences of AI's unchecked development and uncritical use, like social isolation and behaviour manipulation.
The learning resources at the end of the story prompt readers to consider how their data is currently being collected and for what purposes and how data collection relates to issues of privacy, ethics and democracy. The text and its "teacher guide" are powerful tools for use in the elementary and intermediate/secondary classrooms.
Thanks for creating this powerful story and helpful resource guide!
