This episode is a conversation with Scott Smtih, also known as <a href="https://changeist.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Changeist</a> on the social medias. Scott runs a boutique consultancy called Changeist and is a fellow futurist who is also exploring developing visual stories, TV shows and the like, about the future as part of his practice. He also just came out with an book in the midst of the pandemic which you should get — it’s called <a href="https://www.howtofuture.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How To Future</a> Leading and Sense-Making In An Age of Hyperchange. In this chat with Scott, we cover most all of that territory. We talk about what makes Design Fiction Design Fiction and not Science Fiction or Literary Fiction. We discuss David Kirby, who will be featured in a forthcoming episode, and the diegetic prototype. And a big discussion about ‘what Design Fiction is good for.’ Help support the Podcast <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/nearfuturelaboratory?fan_landing=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener">by becoming a Patron</a>.
