About this publication

Our collective futures is a critical design publication that examines the intersection of design practice, technology, and systems.

The publication draws heavily on critical theory, particularly work of people like David Graeber, Mark Fisher, and Jacques Derrida, to analyze the current state of business-as-usual.

Our collective futures operates in tension between collapse awareness and preferable futures thinking. Key themes include the polycrisis and metacrisis, the role of AI in displacing human labor, and the possibility of professional practices that prioritize genuine care over engagement metrics.
