The Onion 2056 -- Dark, Hum, SF
*
For those of you who have seen the satirical publication known as The Onion, they now have an online futurists' version called The Onion 2056. It will come as no shock to readers of this blog that I'm a great fan of science fiction's ability to get us to ask questions about the future and the direction our present actions are taking us. SF and humor can do a great deal to stimulate serious thought and self-reflection, even when the creators aren't looking for anything more than a laugh.
So take a look at The Onion 2056 and decide how much of that world you'd like to live in. Because as it happens, this is not a purely recreational exercise. You're making those decisions now, in everything you do.
Future Imperative
