"Device paradigm" is a genre label for books—fiction and non-fiction—that place technological artifacts and the systems they create at the center of meaning and conflict. In these works a device (or a class of devices, e.g., smartphones, implants, algorithms, or imagined singular machines) is more than a prop: it drives plot and argument, reshapes relationships and institutions, and exposes cultural, ethical, and psychological consequences of new affordances and dependencies. Stories in this category often explore how design choices become social norms, how interfaces mediate power and identity, and how emergent behaviors ripple from widespread adoption, blending speculative thought experiments, near‑future thrillers, design criticism, and sociotechnical essays. The tone can range from cautionary to celebratory, but the unifying concern is the reciprocal shaping of human lives and technological forms — how devices create paradigms of thought, governance, and everyday practice that reconfigure what it means to be human.
