FANTASTIC idea. Stories shape our beliefs and perceptions which in turn shape our behaviors, relationships, creations ... When we can engage in stories that show us what’s possible and plant ideas around ways to flourish, instead of flounder or get fatalistic, welp... We reap what we sow.
Thanks! It's not just me either, there seems to be quite a push for more meaningful fiction.
Sometimes called cli-fi, solarpunk, hopepunk or similar. I just recently found a group publishing similar speculative futures https://www.oneday2050.org/
You should check out The Elysian's SS (https://www.elysian.press/), also a futurist and visionary like yourself. Also just in passing, the database known as the SCP foundation provides an interesting parallel or mirror image to this ethos: they write fictional science reports on paranormal SF stuff. Gotta say I kind of love it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCP_Foundation or the DB itself: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/about-the-scp-foundation
Thanks for the referral. I discovered SCP back when creepy pasta was getting big, glad it's still around.
I have another story here as future news Sofie, the virtual person

I'm a huge fan of your mission. This was a great introduction to it!
This seems like the sort of thing that could get science fiction back in track from the "thrills" it has largely become. Glad you're here!
