Imagine a constellation of Argentine tech cooperatives: each one shining on its own, but far more powerful when they connect and work together. That is FACTTIC. In this second volume of
<i>Other Tech Worlds Are Possible</i>, readers are introduced, through a fantastical narrative rich in visual metaphor, to how cooperativism and tech development grounded in the solidarity economy are transforming Argentina.</div>

Sit in on assemblies where values such as diversity, democracy, innovation, queer technologies, communication, and equality are held in common. Discover projects born from cooperation between cooperatives, including concrete initiatives like IA4Coops, an artificial
intelligence proposal made by cooperatives, for cooperatives. This is a story about the power of cooperating to build fairer technologies.</div>
