This post by Alex Steffen reflects on speculative fiction as means for exploring the implications of present-day changes. Curious by its content, I explored a bit more around the WorldChanging site. It would be a handy reference for speculative fiction writers...or at least food for thought.
Other subjects it explores include:
- home designs
- urban living
- world politics
- the green economy
- climate change
- biodiversity
- and more
There's a products-and-donations aspect sprinkled throughout the site. So, if you get excited about participation, you can become a member of the community.
Since I live in Seattle - the home base of the site - you may wonder if I'm a contributor. Unfortunately, I am not...but I'm thinking very seriously about getting involved. Perhaps I'll have a follow up post on this subject very soon.
