Turning Scientists Into Novelists

The future is uncertain yet conceivable. Researchers from ten countries and all sorts of research backgrounds took a look into the future as part of the twentyforty project and created 13 visionary stories addressing these questions. The results were published in an anthology and could be viewed in an exhibition at the Haus der Statistik in Berlin in July 2020. In an interview, initiator Benedikt Fecher and project manager Bronwen Deacon talked about their experience throughout the project and their relationship to the future and science.
