This module focuses on establishing and designing the future with science fiction. Science fiction is the intersection of the symbiotic relationship between fact and fiction. In particular, it is a creative undertaking to explore a scientific fact and examine the implications, effects, and ramifications of that science or technology. In addition, it, therefore, focuses on visioning and prototyping, which are valuable tools in building future scenarios in a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) world. The focus of this 90 minutes seminar focuses on converting ideas into narratives and reflecting on the outcome.

The seminar includes a presentation of critical developments in future casting: defining science faction, proceeding through a five-step process to create scenarios and finally reflecting and examining the implications of the outcome.

This course will explore the potential consequences of a nuclear war through the lens of three possible scenarios: collapse, plateau, and transcendence/evolution. In each scenario, we will examine the various social, economic, political, and environmental impacts of a nuclear war, and consider the role that human agency and determination might play in shaping the future.

By taking this course, you'll gain the skills to better prepare for and respond to unexpected events and crises. You'll learn to think creatively, anticipate the second- and third-order consequences of decisions, and weigh difficult tradeoffs.

To comprehend the gravity of these risks, we have to envision their worst possible outcomes.

The soot from a large-scale nuclear war could cool global temperatures by nearly 10 degrees

and wipe out up to 63% of the population.

We have made strides in reducing nuclear stockpiles, but there are nearly 10 000 warheads

still in existence. Currently, we are on track to heat the earth

Biotechnology has the potential to solve major crises like food scarcity and disease,

but could give small groups of people the power to cause global disaster.

In theory, the release of a designer pathogen could have an even higher death toll than a global nuclear war.
