The definitive book which describes – in accessible and vivid detail – the origins, evolution, and practice of design fiction: “the practice of creating tangible and evocative prototypes from possible near futures, to help discover and represent the consequences of decision making.
From climate change and economic instability to rising inequality and the fragility of democratic institutions, we face a panoply of uncertainties. For too long major decision makers have largely treated the future as a matter of business modeling, an engineering problem, some sort of sexy vision exercise, or savvy marketing campaign to foment anticipation around future products. What we need are alternative frameworks or mindsets for decision making that consider solutions along with their risks and implications, while incorporating a diversity of both disciplinary and human viewpoints.
Design Fiction is a method to vividly render tangible futures by creating material artifacts that represent the implications of change. Design Fiction is as much a mindset as it is a methodology whereby foresight, research, expectations, strategic direction, and planning can be cohered into representational ‘artifacts from possible futures.’from possible futures. Design fiction opens up new conversations and considerations whilst augmenting existing, well-trodden research and foresight practices.

Amy Webb Launches 2025 Emerging Tech Trend Report
Have you commissioned or participated in, or otherwise encountered, speculative design futuring work (e.g. #DesignFiction) in a technology firm?
Seeking *voluntary* participants for an MSc (Master of Science) research project investigating non-designers’ experiences of speculative design futuring methods in #technology #research and #innovation, and perspectives on the benefits, impact and value of these methods.
The purpose of the research is to investigate research gaps that exist on:
1) non-designers’ evaluation of benefits, impact and value of speculative design futuring work, and
2) conditions that affect translation of speculative work into strategic impact.
Participation by interview. Full confidentiality assured throughout.
Summary of final dissertation will be shared with participants.
Referrals very welcome – thank you.

Imagining a radio for superfans of The Archers, which plays that programme and nothing else. One of @libbymiller's wonderfully wonky #DesignFiction creations at #WutheringBytes
If you haven't yet read the #VannevarBush article that imagined the information rich world we now live in, take a moment to do now — it was published 69 years ago this month
And even if you have read it, seeing it as it appeared in its original print form (ads and all) is pretty amazing, too
Le numéro 27 de NovFut, les nouvelles du futur, est sorti !

DESIGN. Sebastian Berge's "All or Nothing Dice" for our winner-take-all/unicorn-or-die age.
Ok i am just hearing about design fiction but can someone design a refrigerator for the executive dysfunctional crowd? Them vegetables would love not being forgotten. Rotten love.
Il est tout chaud, on le trouve très beau, c'est le nouveau numéro de #resfuturae, la seule revue francophone en #PeerReview sur la #sciencefiction
Au menu: des fictions climatiques #clifi, du #Baudrillard et de l'#Haraway, du #pulp et du #designfiction
C'est ici: https://journals.openedition.org/resf/
📣 Suite à différents retours d'expérience et à de nombreux échanges au cours des derniers mois, il est venu le temps de revoir sérieusement la fiche pédagogique des #Mikrodystopies
C'est quoi, une Mikrodystopie ? Pourquoi et comment en écrire ? Comment varier ces exercices d'écriture et de #DesignFiction (un peu quand même) ?
Tout est en ligne ici et continuera à évoluer dans les prochaines semaines : http://atelier.mikrodystopies.com

- Nous n’avons plus le choix, il faut leur apprendre à construire des bases de données propres, ordonnées, exploitables…
-…
-Non je rigole 🤣. T’imagines ? Genre, avec Excel et tout…
Pendant ce temps la, les fiches individuelles par onglet continuaient de se multiplier, avec leurs étages de cellules fusionnées.
Les analystes regardaient les montagnes de requêtes se dresser, graduellement, devant eux.
#designfiction #question : la jungle de la #cooperation est-elle ce qui s'enracine de nos forêts de projets ? Les tribus locales, les licornes artisanales et les savoir-faire endémiques y logeraient, tissant leur canopée culturelle du bien vivre en communauté. On y ferait, par exemple, de la baguette, une espèce protégée. #artisanat #sciences #transaction #recit #philosophie #transition #culture
#designfiction plongée dans l’univers aquatique des interconnexions ⛵️: flux, lacs de données et courants porteurs baignent les territoires d’un échange continu d’information.
🏝️Des plages et des plages d’interfaces nous amène ce que les vagues artificielles arrivent à trier. Pour se repérer, il faut un navigateur ⚓️
Trop de données et c’est la noyade de l’infobesité.
