What if the future isn’t something we predict, but something we design? In this episode of This Anthro Life, host Adam Gamwell is joined by Carissa Carter and Scott Doorley to dive into the hidden forces shaping our world—from speculative fiction to emerging technologies and the ripple effects of design. They explore mammoth de-extinction, AI, and the unintended consequences of innovation, challenging us to rethink how we approach progress. How do the stories we tell influence what’s possible? What happens when corporations take on responsibilities once held by governments? And can we really predict the impact of new technology before it’s too late? This conversation is a must-listen for anyone curious about the future of design, technology, and society. Whether you’re a designer, thinker, or just fascinated by what’s next, this episode will change how you see the world—and your role in shaping it.
