Data: Identification / Individuality / Intimacy
Robin Riback and I talk about the differences between the 3 - what they are, but also what they mean to us as humans.

New - in the 6th episode of Our Data, Our Future, Robin and I spend 10 minutes chatting about the future of work. As ever we keep it brief, dropping thoughts to create ripples to inspire discussion. And, we attempt to keep it as positive as we can!

Always interesting working on an idea with Claire...
I'm chuffed to have a piece of flash fiction 'In Decay' published by online Canadian publisher CommuterLit - perfect for your short commute.
I'm particularly pleased because it's one of my recent favourites.

I’m often asked where people can read the stories that come out of my applied science fiction projects.
I've listed them with links here stephenoram.net/blog/2025/10... so you can easily find and choose which to read.
Including the new anthology from the project with Coventry University and DSTL.
Interesting the scale is all about technology not about civilisation... I'd be wanting to see a trajectory towards a decent civilisation first before even considering this sort of 'trajectory'. If colonisation has taught us anything it's to be wary of unsubtle societies having power (in both senses)
I have to admit to not having read Foundation - are these scales from that? I need to read (on the large TBR pile)...
Thrutopia - grounded, plausible & inspiring route maps from a recognisable present towards a future we’d be proud to leave behind.
Zoefuturism - there are no still moments in life, in nature, in our cosmos; everything (inc. us) is changing in relation to its surroundings, as it all keeps becoming.
I've recently become interested in Thrutopias and Zoefuturism as 'genres' to give a different perspective to the binary temptations of Utopia or Dystopia - either how we get there or acknowledge 'there' is in constant change.
Weirdly, I learn a lot about myself and my writing by being interviewed and this one is no exception… including my response to the question of how interested I am in using AI in my work!

Agree... my angle was that these are the possibilities and it's up to us to make sure we get the future(s) we want (starting with understanding the options and an idea of what we might want). That nuance got a bit lost.
