Reading - Lisa Spalt & Julia Grillmayr: Fantastic

What does science fiction have to do with the future? And can literary speculation help us to think systematically about futures?

In her book "Science Fiction Futurologies", Julia Grillmayr reflects on the tense relationship between futurology and speculative literature. Lisa Spalt presents snippets of text from her book "Grüne Hydra von Calembour", in which a group of people have taken refuge in an abandoned DIY store and are trying to build a future for themselves with the goods lying around.
