Our culture suffers from a lack of means to adequately reflect on the fast coming future. This is nothing new, and it is at least as hard to take stock of the present. Yet, it is boldly argued, that which we call “the future” seems bigger, faster and more encompassing than ever before. I won’t defend claims about accelerating technology here. But I certainly appreciate spaces that help people catch up with the socio-technical shifts that envelop us.
