Topic: “The Thing From the Future”  

The Thing From the Future is an imagination game for envisioning alternative tomorrows.  http://situationlab.org/project/the-thing-from-the-future/  The object of the game is to come up with the most thought-provoking descriptions of hypothetical objects from different near-, medium-, and long-term futures. Each round, players collectively generate a creative prompt by playing a card game. This prompt outlines the kind of future that the thing-to-be-imagined comes from, specifies what part of society or culture it belongs to, describes the type of object that it is, and suggests an emotional reaction that it might spark in an observer from the present.
