Joshi, Viraj ORCID: https://orcid.org/0009-0006-5242-0076, 2023, Journal Article, Whose preferred future is this? On possibility, potential, and plurality in visions of the future World Futures Review, 15 (1). pp. 1-5. ISSN 2169-2793

Abstract or Description:

What do the images of our futures tell us about the world we live in? Whose preferred future do we often imagine? That of the people, the planet, or solely made for profits of a few masters? If it is for the benefit of the people, who are they, how much do they benefit, and how will their lives be better? What unforeseen implications might this have for the planet? Speculation is famously a provocative medium that allows us to start crucial conversations without explicitly referring to sensitive anecdotes. In an increasingly polarised and fragmented world, these images hope to spark empathy, and promote a holistic, considerate discourse.
