Imagine Better Futures: The future isn't created exclusively by white guys in black t-shirts who give TED Talks. In fact, thinking about the future (or "mental time travel" as psychologists call it) is not only the first step towards building the future we want, it's actually linked to happiness. With the right tools, pulling from imagination, foresight, history, and storytelling every person can start the process of imaging (and then building) better futures.

Rose Eveleth is a writer and producer who explores how humans tangle with science and technology. She鈥檚 the creator of Flash Forward Presents and host of Flash Forward and Advice For And From The Future.

She helped launch ESPN鈥檚 30 for 30 Podcast and her work has appeared in The Atlantic, Smithsonian Magazine, Nautilus Magazine, CBS, Racked, Scientific American, Eater, The New York Times, Fusion, VICE, Five Thirty Eight and more. She co-edited the 2018 edition of What Future: The Year's Best Writing on What's Next for People, Technology, and the Planet, her work has appeared in the Best American Science and Nature Writing, and she has a forthcoming comics/essay hybrid that tackles big ideas about the future coming out in March.
