Scott Smith’s presentation “Beware of Flat-Pack Futures” is a stinging critique of thoughtless corporate futurism, that he delivered at Media Future Week in Almere, Netherlands. His “flat-pack futures” are the insufficiently weird, bland, like-today-only-moreso futures we see depicted all around us. He proposes a weirder, more textured, more contradictory future and a toolkit for thinking about it. It’s a whole hour, but it’s an hour very, very well spent.
