1. I wanted to share a project that I have been working on in my capacity as Head of Futures at #Planethon. It is called #TwentySeventyTwo / #TjugoSjuttiotvå (available in English & Swedish) and it's a @spotifypodcasts Original production. #Stockholm50 (unroll for the full story)

2. Each of the episodes is a beautifully produced radio drama with 8D sound that vividly brings to life one climate future 50 years from today from a multitude of possible futures. The stories are written and narrated by some of Sweden's premier storytellers. #Stockholm50

3. What makes this project different though is in the careful meeting between science and storytelling. My role in the project has been in providing science-based narrative scenarios that act as the underpinning and as inspiration, a starting point for each of the stories.

4. 1st episode which you can listen to right now is called Ragna. It is written by @HenkeBjorn and stars Gizem Kling Erdogan. Ragna is a tense, magical, thrilling journey that will surprise and challenge you. Please listen: spoti.fi/38HRrXY #Stockholm50

5. 2nd episode is called Wild City. Story is written by #TuvaNovotny & stars @RydingEdvin. Wild City is a poetic, intergenerational reflection on what it takes to transform, what transformation feels like & what is left behind forever. Listen: spoti.fi/3ahAvbi #Stockholm50

6. There is a third episode being released later in the summer but that episode is still a surprise. I can assure that it is absolutely brilliant and can't wait to be able to share more and to be able to fully discuss this trio of stories. watch this space! #Stockholm50

7. It has been a real privilege and a gratifying process to be able to work with the authors to develop their story ideas led by the amazing team at @munckstudios and to help find the right balance between story and science.

8. When I started this journey years ago, experimenting with #SciFiPrototyping to help me make sense of the future of the global ocean, I could never have imagined how things would evolve. I am really proud of this project and excited for next steps. #Stockholm50

9. Finally, I want 2 thank all my amazing colleagues at #Planethon, @EGrythberg, Hanna Grahn & Karin Bäckmark at @Spotify, the amazing authors & actors, fellow scientists & futures nerds at @sthlmresilience, @simonstalenhag & @HenrikOsterblom 4 supporting me 2 put SciFi in my PhD

and of course @watersecurity who has been a splendid collaborator, who says an enthusiastic YES! to every crazy idea and has created amazing work that is cutting-edge and inspirational while teaching our type of science fiction prototyping to by now, maybe thousands of students
