This contribution argues for grounding Frontier Technologies (FTs) as sociotechnical associations. It highlights the techno- and anthropo-centric faith in FTs and challenges the notion of FTs as technological prescriptions. It offers an alternative approach for developing a relational thinking framework about technics – or technical thought, rather than technology.
