A dispatch is like receiving a telegram from the future that contains evidence of the world from which it has come. They are like a clue we might find left for us to unpack and interpret — transformations of speculations, prognostications, instincts, intuitions, extrapolations of today's news into a different form, like a music review, a news article, a product review or entry in a product catalog. Each is grounded to current contexts, events, developments, fears, hopes, dreams, dreads, anticipated outcomes whether hopeful or dystopian.

(And sometimes these dispatches may feel speculative to the point of science-fictional or bizarre. Consider that in some sense, science fiction is a form of dispatch from the near future.)

I created these as ways to extrapolate today's contingent realities into possible futures, alternative pasts, and adjacent presents. Each dispatch is a speculation on how current events, trends, technologies, social rituals, and cultural phenomena might evolve. Of course, these dispatches are not predictions, but rather explorations of the potential implications and consequences of our current trajectory.
