The ability to imagine a far future is the ability to imagine change. When imagining change start with these six words "This is a world in which..." A useful tool for creating scenarios because it puts you in the mindset of a whole new world. Ask yourself the following questions to decide what kind of story to tell about a particular future:

What does a day-in-the-life look like in this future?

What new structures, institutions, processes, or concepts are needed to support this future?

Who/what are the catalysts in these scenarios—the actors that make things happen?

What are the geographies of these scenarios? Are they universal Do they play out differently in different parts of the world?

What are historical precedents that might inform these scenarios What do they have to teach us about the critical dilemmas?

What makes these scenarios sustainable or unsustainable (will these changes be capable of lasting 100+ years)?

How might these scenarios be flipped—if they’re utopian, what’s the dystopian version? If they’re scary and negative, what’s the hopeful and positive version?
