Summary - This is a very insightful paper on futuring and how activity in the present realizes imagined fictions, which don't yet exist, and bring them into being in our (future) present - One thing to note is that there is a huge swath of human activity not explicitly discussed which is intrinsically futuring, and that is the birth of any new idea in general, including scientific, mathematical and technological. - Human progress is the sum total of countless individual futuring projects that imagine some fictitious, nonexistent idea and work to incrementally bring it into existence.

summary - This a a paper that frames design and innovation, - among the most ubiquitous and important of all human activities - as a branch of futuring - Design and innovation bring something new into existence - That which is designed - is that which is imagined - is that which is not yet real - is that which is therefore a fiction - Innovation brings the fictional and imagined into reality through mobilizing and coordinating social behavior that realizes the imagined future. - This is especially critical as our species needs to rapidly imagine and bring about an aspirational future that mitigates our existential polycrisis
