Why imagining weird futures is the key to building a better tomorrow
In short: Science fiction writer Charlie Jane Anders argues that we shouldn't try to predict the future. Instead, she explores how dreaming up speculative, strange possibilities can empower us to construct a better world.
In this talk, Anders blends dream-like speculation with research-based extrapolation to survey the potential delights and challenges of what lies ahead. By moving beyond mere prediction and embracing the weird, we gain the agency needed to shape a more positive future.
