In this editorial, we've taken the opportunity of being 3 years in - amidst the "flow or tide" of submissions - to ask how the field's energies are being distributed, + reflect on the concepts and theories that are so central to new STS work that they almost form a canon or infrastructure...

It was a pleasure work with @martinsavransky.bsky.social on this for @sthv.bsky.social. It closes with a call for STS "as an art of complicity," daring "to participate in the heterogeneous composition of unruly habits of thought and modes of planetary habitation." Read it!
