Man From The Future Shares His Story
'So there are no police, only private security guards. There are no “laws” per-say, but most people deal with trade disputes through private “loser pays” arbitration courts. So contracts between organizations and people define what the “law” is. Private insurance companies basically deal with private property protection in the future, just as they do today. So most people subscribe to an insurance contract which indirectly funds their local security and fire\emergency protection services. Engaging in a crime voids your insurance protections, which typically doesn’t end well for the criminal. Since victims don’t like paying to put their assailants behind bars, the prison industry evaporated. This left justice to be dealt with at the individual and neighborhood level. It is important to note that reputation plays a massive role in your future society. People don’t rob or harm others because a bad reputation can force you into total poverty.'

4 Approaches to Planning (Reactive, Inactive, Preactive, & Proactive)
#3. Preactive - predict the future. Preactive planning is an attempt to predict the future and then to plan for that predicted future. Technological change is seen as the driving force bringing about the future, which will be better than the present or the past. The planning process will seek to position the organization to take advantage of the change that is happening around them. -- #4. Proactive - create the future. Proactive planning involves designing a desired future and then inventing ways to create that future state. Not only is the future a preferred state, but the organization can actively control the outcome. Planners actively shape the future, rather than just trying to get ahead of events outside of their control. The predicted changes of the preactive planner are seen not as absolute constraints, but as obstacles that can be addressed and overcome.'

The Archdruid Report -- A Terrible Ambivalence
'We are not going to have a future better than the present: not in our lifetimes, and not in those of our grandchildren's grandchildren. We collectively closed the door on that possibility decades ago, and none of the rapidly narrowing range of choices still open to us now offers any way of changing that. It may be possible for us to save a few things worth saving that would otherwise be lost, to stem some little of what will be an immense tide of human suffering, to do what we can to help stabilize a damaged biosphere so Nature doesn't have to rebuild it entirely from scratch. All of these things are profoundly worth doing. None of them will change the fact that the future ahead of us will be a profoundly difficult time in which many of the things that are most meaningful to each of us will inevitably be lost. So many of us want things all one way or the other, all good or all evil, without the terrible ambivalence that pulses through all things human as inescapably as blood.'

In a nutshell: The collapse of the perpetual 'green shoots' ponzi scheme is the black hole lurking at the center of the web, but 'massive change' is something to be optimistic about, especially if we can grow up to the REAL challenges we face. "The future is unwritten."

Guardian -- Science fiction doesn't have to be gloomy, does it?
"The challenge for writers of science fiction today is not to repeat the same dire warnings we have all already heard, or to replicate the naive visions of the genres golden age, but to create visions of the future people can believe in. Perhaps the next Nineteen Eighty-Four, instead of confronting us with our worst fear, will find the imagination to show us our greatest hope."

DISCOVER Magazine -- Forecasting the Future May Be a Matter of Fun and Games
'In Superstruct, players will bring their own personal knowledge and experiences to the table. "We don't need everybody to be experts on how climate might change and how the economy might be impacted," says McGonigal. "If you're a teenaged girl, tell us how a teenaged girl would respond to this crisis. We need that personal intelligence from everybody." Cascio says that his highest hope is that the collaborating players will come up with innovative ideas that have applications here, in the real world of 2008. "The mass of ideas can become almost an epiphany engine," he says.'

The Institute For The Future -- Superstruct FAQ
"Superstructing is what humans do. We build new structures on old structures. We build media on top of language and communication networks. We build communities on top of family structures. We build corporations on top of platforms for manufacturing, marketing, and distribution. Superstructing has allowed us to survive in the past and it will help us survive the super-threats."

The game's goal is to crowdsource forecasting for the Institute For The Future. And based on that premise the IFTF is hoping that participants will do no less than help them find solutions to super-threats (climate refugees, water, carbon quotas and more are listed).'

PSP™ Design Club -- Johnny Hardstaff: The Future of Gaming
"I forewarned the client that I would sail as close to the edge as I would wish in my interpretation of their four word brief (’The Future of Gaming’), and that I would retain the copyright of this film in perpetuity. Thereby I generated a ‘branded’ film that I wanted to make, free of commercial input, that was paid for by a large multi-national corporation. This film was, upon completion, deemed to be ‘too leftfield’ and ‘dark’ for the clients tastes. Oddly, and this is where it all gets a little grey, the client was in effect more than happy for such a damning film to be shown, just so long as they were not involved in promoting it or putting it anywhere themselves. Ironically, or indeed obviously, however disaffected the film was with their product, it only served to increase their ‘kudos’ and ‘brand awareness’. "
