  1. This was a fun library find - "The Movie Art of Syd Mead: Visual Futurist"

    I'll post some pages of unproduced films he worked on.

  3. AI can now design a drug that works in humans. The hard part is that the world just decided to stop sharing. hackernoon.com/ai-has-reinvent #futurism

  4. Oboh Moses from #Nigeria has joined the Story Seed Library with a vision of Solarpunk Lagos!

    storyseedlibrary.org/art/oboh-

    A community full of solar panels and wind turbines, with electrified cars helping deal with the smog that is currently plaguing the city.

  5. AI's water problem is smaller than you've been told. Water's problem is far bigger — and, for the first time, solvable. hackernoon.com/ais-water-probl #futurism

  6. At the #storySeedLibrary our latest Collab was to specifically imagine disasters and help us tell stories about them: storyseedlibrary.org/tags/2026

    Because when there's a real-life wildfire, flood or a mass blackout there are people dealing with them, experiencing so many things we are not yet equipped to share with each other.

    Not in a language that would be understandable by everyone who will soon need them.

  7. My perspective on the role of #violence and #rebellion in #solarpunk :

    Imagining that our climate future will be free of strife and conflict is unrealistic.

    At the same time we have _so many_ stories focusing on the fight and struggle, and so few which imagine _what_ do we actually want to build - with all of its problems and imperfections.

    I'd like Solarpunk to discuss the latter instead of envisioning #cyberpunk violence in green.

  8. An Unsophisticated Decision-Making Machine

    Your AI always has an opinion. It has never, not once, had a stake in what happens to you. Don’t confuse the two, especially not on the days when its opinion is better than yours. That will happen. That’s exactly when the AI decision making costume fits best.

    The decision is always yours.

  9. [sarcasm]

    Your daily reminder that there is no drama in #solarpunk

    Please stop imagining people responding to #wildfires and other natural #disaster s and focus on realized utopias only. Do not attempt to imagine our way out of the #climateCrisis

    /s

    Or drop by storyseedlibrary.org/ to start imagining how we can adapt.

  11. Reactionary Futurism: radical individualism, unregulated market and rejection of democratic governance

    "Tech billionaires are in the habit of claiming their work is inspired by the sparkling visions of the future laid out in science fiction. But as the social theorist Ali Rıza Taşkale shows these references hinge on fundamental misreadings of the original texts"

  12. Brilliant essay!
    "Silicon Valley’s power rests on presenting a narrow, reactionary fantasy as inevitable progress."
    The looting of science fiction: Tech titans claim the genre inspired them. But all they’ve done is graft their politics onto stories of a better future.
