a while back, I played with a short thought experiment – a quick from-here-to-there, with «here» being now and «there» being the universe of The Culture universe by Iain M. Banks – turns out, it’s a relatively straightforward progression
for the «now», start with degrowth and permaculture to combat the excesses of lage stage capitalism
for the «soon», expand with solarpunk and social ecology to avoid falling into the dystopias of cyberpunk
for the «near future», look to The Solar Union of Ken MacLeod’s Cassini Division less we end up with S.A. Corey’s The Expanse
for the «future», we have the United Federation of Planets from Star Trek
leading us to The Culture in the «far future»
