The future has been stolen by billionaires, bureaucrats and boring people. In 30 minutes, we're going to steal a piece back. We'll use science fiction, design prompts and card-game chaos to turn frustration, curiosity and hope into tools, games, spaces, rituals and inventions that could actually change the world.
The future has been stolen by billionaires, bureaucrats and boring people. This workshop is a tiny heist to steal a piece back. We'll use science fiction as a tool for inventing strange, useful things that should exist: secret clubs, rebel apps, new rituals, impossible machines, better schools, weirder cities, kinder internets, and games for breaking boring rules.
Everyone starts with something that annoys them, scares them, or makes them think: “Wow, this is stupid.” School rules. Climate dread. Adults not listening. Social media brain rot. Surveillance. Loneliness. Boring cities. Whatever. Then we pull cards, add weird constraints, and turn the problem sideways until it becomes an idea.
By the end, each person or group will have made something: a poster, sketch, game rule, fake advert, map, machine, club, ritual, app idea, or tiny plan for trouble. We'll leave with the future feeling less like something being done to us, and more like something we can break into, remix and steal back.
