I’m happy to announce…

…that I’ll be a Supporting Community Leader/Game Master for California-based non-profit Institute for the Future’s upcoming massively-multiplayer forecasting game, SuperStruct, a creation by futurist James Cascio and games creator Jane McGonigal.

By playing the game, you’ll help us chronicle the world of 2019–and imagine how we might solve the problems we’ll face. Because this is about more than just envisioning the future. It’s about making the future, inventing new ways to organize the human race and augment our collective human potential. Superstruct FAQ

I’m really looking forward to the solutions and structures that the players develop as a way to deal with these terrible events, and seeing what we’d need – not just as professionals who are paid to think about the future, but as normal people.

There’ll also be some great awards given out by a committee of celebs, including Heroes’ Tim Kring, Ze Frank, Chris DiBona and Warren Ellis.

The game launches in late September; visit http://www.superstructgame.org/ to sign up for more news and a reminder when the game begins.
