Improvements move scenarios away from fiction and give thought-provoking justification for the portrayed futures. A poor scenario will look like nonsense, or like badly written science fiction - though it may have an intriguing idea behind it. '''A good scenario will make you think about the future in a new way'''. |

What Are We?
The Future Wiki is a vast database of ideas pertaining to the discipline of futurology, including scientific articles, futuristic scenarios, and map games for all to ponder and enjoy.
We are both speculative and scientific, recognizing the importance of scientific accuracy and practical realism, as well as that of drastic points of divergence in the creation of our scenarios.
Our guide to futurology provides an in-depth introduction to the discipline of futurology, and our guidelines are a quick guide to get you started. Please read one of these before making ANY edits.
