superstruct

I’ve been asked to be a member of the Superstruct advisory board! Superstruct is basically a massively multiplayer online forecasting game, set up by the non-profit Institute for the Future. The game designers have written the framework of a scenario that takes place in 2019, organized by five interlocking “superthreats” (disease, food distribution, power distribution, mass migration, internet attacks), in order to see trends in how players would react to these changing global conditions in the course of their everyday lives. I’ll be posting more about this as the game approaches launch on September 22. In the meantime, you can check out the game’s teaser site, or this article about it in Discover Magazine.
