Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2023 just after her keynote, Fredrik chats to Galit Ariel about being inspired by the right science fiction, uninspired futures, and much more.

• It’s all thanks to Star Trek - a vision of the future which is actually positive and thoughtful
• What science fiction can teach us about what we think of as the other
• Uninspired future building - is it that things become so big they become more bland because they can’t afford to not be wide and bland?
• Too much push for product and profit
• Microsoft, AI, and the panic to surf the current wave
• Will cultures change? Perhaps a recession will help - reality is biting a bit at the worst misdirections. When things are stale and still, more interesting and nuanced things have the time to happen
• Also: the new generation is looking good!
