The Futures Issue
The Futures Issue does not predict The Future. Instead, it is our attempt to demystify how the idea of The Future is constructed—a toolkit for building our own alternative paths forward.
This issue sets out to answer some fundamental questions. Why do certain technologies get funded into existence over others? What factors determine whether those transformations are used for the benefit of the few or the good of the many? What paradigms must be rethought if we have any hope of staving off climate disaster and future pandemics? This approach, we hope, will yield new ways of dreaming forward—against nostalgia and all-consuming pessimism. See for yourself.
