Writing the Future

In case you’re not convinced by Oryx and Crake and you want an alternative vision of what the drive toward efficiency looks like when taken to its logical extreme:

• *”Design Your Own Utopia”, a very thorough checklist of things you want to think about in some form
• *hilariously, eHow has a “How to Create Utopias” page
• “How to Create a Dystopia”
• “Dystopias:  Definitions and Characteristics” (PDF)
• “What to think about when creating a dystopian future”
