In this episode, I am joined by bestselling author Kim Stanley Robinson ("Stan") and Oxford Professor Anette Mikes to discuss how we can use storytelling to imagine and create the futures that we want to see. Science fiction writers create imaginary worlds as frames for the stories they tell and Stan has been interested in how he as a science fiction writer can use his art to imagine better climate futures for humanity. In his bestselling book The Ministry for the Future, he explores the fictional Ministry for the Future that exists to act as an advocate for the world's future generations of citizens. Professor Anette Mikes discusses Stan’s work in the context of her own interpretation of Stan’s vision, the Oxford Ministry for the Future, an initiative bringing together storytellers with academics interested in climate change. This conversation opens up new ideas and thinking on how we can increase our agency in designing a more responsible planetary future.
