I joined Radha Mistry and Tobias Revell on Futurish for a conversation about analog resistance, the attention economy, and why I’m betting on women to lead us through the post-MAGA era. We covered the Greenwood participatory futures project, what it takes to bring design fiction to communities navigating real historical trauma, and why I started a speculative snail mail club called Letters from the Future.
Radha and Tobias have this tagline: “Nothing is new and everything has happened before.” So we pushed on that, talking about the Offline Club in Amsterdam (where people pay €7 to have their phones locked in a “phone hotel”) and whether paying for boredom signals something cracking in the attention economy’s core logic. We got into the class divide of disconnection, whether authentic analog experiences can survive being commodified, and my nightmare scenario where Meta launches IRL spaces with offline streaks that go viral.
