Made Up: Design’s Fictions

by Tim Durfee (Editor), Mimi Zeiger (Editor)

Through essays, interviews, and narratives by Bruce Sterling, Fiona Raby, Sam Jacob and other significant voices in the field, this volume questions the initial discourses around "design fiction"--a broad category of critical design that includes overlapping interests in science fiction, world building, speculation, and futuring. Made Up: Design's Fictions advances contemporary analysis and enactment of narrative and speculation as an important part of practice today.

[August Bourré · Rating 4 out of 5]

Content was excellent, but the book was riddled with copy editing and proofing errors. Also the title of the book is spelled wrong here on Goodreads.

essential speculative design read, imo.
