Future Speculation

Curated by Jelani Memory

Jelani Memory is the Founder and CEO of A Kids Company About, whose mission is to empower a generation of kids through diverse storytelling. He lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife and six kids.

About the Folio

I believe that when we attempt to imagine what the future might be like, we are more capable of making a better today. Science fiction holds that power. It’s ironic that exploring both beautiful futures, or dark and scary one’s, helps us be more present, more aware, and more thoughtful.

Stories of Your Life and Others

By Ted Chiang
Ted’s ability to weave a story that is both incredibly imaginative and yet quite grounded is unparalleled. Each story in this collection leaves you wishing it were a novel unto itself just so you could explore its world a little longer. These stories are thoughtful, challenging, and intimate. They each speak to what it means to be human.
