Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby wrote Speculative Everything, one of the founding documents of design fiction. What I take from them is the move of turning the plausible into the probable. Presearch owes them a lot.
How the word moved
I read them with real pleasure in October 2019, and that reading fed straight into presearch. In February 2026 I brought them back for planetary governance: now is the time to turn the plausible into the probable.
In my words
"I really enjoyed reading "Speculative Everything," one of the founding documents of the design fiction movement."
