Jim Breaux, current UH Foresight student and APF Student Recognition award winner, passed along a link to his first published futures work in the Manoa Fried Journal, “Black Net“. It’s an incasting exercise and scenario built around a dystopic future where class wars lead to anarchy and the desentigration of our technology supply chain, and only major corporations with paramilitary might and gated communities with cooperative citizenry are able to function.
Go read Jim’s scenario centered on the protagonist Cinco, an older teenager and repair guy for his gated community, and check out some of the headlines for that future.
The peice may be a few years old, but it’s always good to see how we begin learning and applying foresight.
Thanks Jim!
