Dear Friend,
I would like to ask all sympathizers and participants
(active or inactive) in our unique
utopian project, “Future Historians,” to take five or ten minutes now to view
the results of a year of collective research and writing, visible on our WIKI.
I think you will be impressed.
The homepage http://futurehistorians.org/doku.php?id=start
gives the background on us and our project.
The utopian fiction we are trying to write has taken the
form of a history, “Then, Now and How,” telling the millenials of
2118 the story of how we got “here” (their peaceful, sustainable, egalitarian
world) from “there” (the capitalist chaos of 2018). For a one-page summary,
please click on “How to Use This History.” http://futurehistorians.org/doku.php?id=textbook
Interested? Why not click on the “grid,” which is both the
Index and Table of Contents. Pick a topic that interests you (e.g. Ecology,
Politics) and see what the Historians of 2118 have imagined. http://futurehistorians.org/doku.php?id=the-grid
Many the texts in this patchwork history are very sketchy at
this point. It’s a work in progress. If you have something to add, you can pick
up your virtual pencil and write it in. Thanks to Fred Murphy, who combines
political vision with technical skills, this immense project has achieved
simplicity and facility of navigation for anyone who wants to read it or add to
it.
The bibliographical results of our
year of research into each of these topics is available in a Resources Dropbox (for which you need
an invitation) and the videos of our year’s discussion are on line.
We are now moving into the writing and collective editing
phase of our work. If you have a sentence, paragraph or page to add and you’re
already a Future Historian, go to http://futurehistorians.org/doku.php?id=instructions
and copy it in. Or send us an email and we’ll help you insert it. AnotherWorldNYC@gmail.com
Best wishes to all,
Richard Greeman,
Convener, Future Historians
