For me, science fiction is above all a prospective form of narrative fiction; it is concerned with seeing the present in terms of the immediate future rather than the past. JG Ballard in conversation with George MacBeth, The New SF, 1969

Now being a shadow of our future; discerning and surfing contours of an emerging reality – that one being born. Science fictioneers uncover gemstone artefacts of what-yet-may-happen, arranging their finds in reverse rehearsed archaeologies. Applied science fiction performs those possibilities of making perceptual sense of now through lenses of a future, radically reorganizing reality to see not culminating patterns of history but sproutings of new emergent phenomena. ‘Reality’ read not as a solidified accretion of circumstance but a nascent otherwhen searching for its form in a superslow dance via morphogenesis negative, a future eating unsatisfactory instances of itself as it moves forward into itself to centre on itself in a recurrence recursive choreography of learning.
