A design fiction is a short video, usually issued by a practise specialising in user interaction, created to illustrate possible futures in the social technology space. Literally, a fiction about design. This is where science fiction lives now.Science fiction’s been in a bad way for some time. The present condition develops too quickly for near-future SF to remain near-future by the time it’s actually hit print. Publication schedules can easily render a concept antique. Consequently, that part of the field’s all but abandoned: unless you’re a full-bore neophile like Charlie Stross or Cory Doctorow, or a word-artist like Lauren Beukes, you don’t want to chance it.
