In other words, creating futures and interacting with possible futures to decide collectively if, how and when to go that route. /3

Design Fiction or Near-life Experience (as my friend Jeff Smith, co-founder of Lunar Design, likes to call it) is about-

"Visualising the future", just the way science fiction does but nearer to life.

#Designfiction /5

Visualising a scenario, product or service,

Creating a shared space for conversations,

Telling stories of the near future, using existing capabilities, technologies and resources,

Creating artifacts that users interact with to see & “experience” the future.

“The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed. The Economist, December 4, 2003”. ― William Gibson

AND

There is no such thing as THE future, so let's create one.
