“After more than fifteen years of Design and Futures Studies bumping into each other—sometimes clashing, sometimes blending—perhaps now is the right moment to pause and share, from our perspective, what the practice of Design Futures really looks like today. We will leave it up to you to decide what comes next.
To do this, we’ve put together a book that is, by design, refreshingly free from heavy toolkits and step-by-step methods. It is more like a field guide that you can easily dip into and out of.
Our aim is not to be prescriptive nor to tell you how to do futures work. Rather, we hope to help you find your direction by offering snapshots, prompts, and provocations from a wide range of perspectives.”
