For a few months now I have been uploading my #Protopia inspirations & thoughts to IG but will start sharing things also here @protopiafutures — please follow & RT if you want to see Sci Fi that expands beyond the outdated #Dystopia/#Utopia   binary

instagram.com/protopiafuture… It’s just the very beginning of sharing some of the future thoughts & imaginations I have been researching for years but I can only hope that these explorations will find an audience & could help shift the mainstream Sci Fi imagery discourse at least a notch. @protopiafutures 2/

I am not sure people realize the weight of what Trump said. He wants to make it ILLEGAL to be antifascist. Which ultimately means: you will HAVE to adhere to fascism BY LAW. & yes, this is also a push towards civil war / secession of states. & all that he + GOP are doing is trying to instigate for reasons that will allow that. If you are from or lived in any of the dictatorial regimes you know how this happens. You know how they exploit chaos to grab the power. None of this is surprising. It’s playbook strategy.

Sharing my journey across Iran as it is coming along on my instagram stories. See it through my eyes & hopefully we’ll debunk some stereotypes.

(IG handle same as here, @monikabielskyte, see also the highlights). I’ll keep adding here to the thread as I move across the land 2/ Jameh Mosque, Isfahan

1/ Finally saw Ready Player One in Mumbai. It was even trashier than I expected. I mean, how could the world design be SO unimaginative? 2/ Nothing felt fresh, nothing breathed LIFE in it. Not even the damn headset design! Like, seriously?!? I mean how in hell anyone would think that in 30 years VR devices will still look like glorified ski goggles?!?!?

Storytellers need to finally start taking responsibility for the world they are inventing. #BladeRunner2049 #GhostInTheShell2017 We aren’t just doing movies, games, TV, VR. W SciFi narratives, we are creating cultural visions of the future that will bleed into reality
