Kodsnack 557 - All I had was science fiction, with Galit Ariel

Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2023 just after her keynote, Fredrik chats to Galit Ariel about being inspired by the right science fiction, uninspired futures, and much more.

It’s all thanks to Star Trek - a vision of the future which is actually positive and thoughtful
What science fiction can teach us about what we think of as the other
Uninspired future building - is it that things become so big they become more bland because they can’t afford to not be wide and bland?
Too much push for product and profit
Microsoft, AI, and the panic to surf the current wave
Will cultures change? Perhaps a recession will help - reality is biting a bit at the worst misdirections. When things are stale and still, more interesting and nuanced things have the time to happen
Also: the new generation is looking good!
