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
