The future is already here; it’s just not very evenly distributed (2017)
Journal Article
Chatterton, T., & Newmarch, G. (2017). The future is already here; it’s just not very evenly distributed. InterActions, 24(2), 42-45

The future is always created on an uneven foundation. In order to understand how we can create futures that do not exclude, isolate or exploit we have to understand how the future is ‘written’ in the present. So, whilst there is some interest in lo...
