    Abstract

    New socio-technical arrangements are emerging in the context of the internet of things. On the one hand, more non-conventional actors are entering the spheres of development, design and implementation with the creation of IoT innovation ecosystems and citizen science initiatives. On the other, the IoT flags the need to account for non-users, incidental users and unaware subjects who may be indirectly captured in smart devices’ field of data collection. Drawing insights from the critical scholarship on users, this paper argues that IoT research and practice must begin to problematise the invocation of users as a trivial and universal category and develop new frameworks to grapple with the emerging ecologies of actors in the IoT.
