I stumbled across a link I bookmarked many, many years ago last night and (thanks to a couple of minutes on Google) managed to find the page again, as it’s original host had removed it.
Enigma is a UCLA organization which exists for people who, in their own words: “share interests in gaming, science fiction, fantasy, and other shiny goodness.”
Hmm – Your initial thought might be light-sensitive nerds swapping D&D scores and screen grabs from World Of Warcraft (and this may well be true! B->), but this particular set of pages makes for interesting reading.
Again, in their own words: “In 1990 Enigma created its own “future history“, attempting to create a plausible, or at least entertaining, description of the events over the next 130 years of Earth’s history.”
Now having looked at their predictions over the past few years, they’re a little wide of the mark, but there is still value is considering their view of the future, even if only from an entertainment point of view.
I wonder how many Sci-Fi authors have obtained their plot lines from these pages? B->
