The fifth espresso? series, Algorithmic Futures: Plural, Complex, and Imperfect, is now live. In five dynamic episodes, Deaa Bataineh and Carlos Teixeira along with Cecilia Tham, challenge the limitations of linear thinking and explore how today’s futures must be designed differently—across domains like policy, design, technology, and ethics.
In this series, they explore why yesterday’s foresight tools fall short in a world defined by convergence, complexity, and contradiction. From algorithmic futuring to higher-order modeling, from systemic equity to speculative design frameworks, these episodes offer both deep insight and practical tools for navigating what’s emerging.
This series blends strategy, systems thinking, and design into fast, full-bodied conversations intended to challenge—and energize—how we imagine what comes next.
If you’re navigating uncertainty in your field, this series offers a new lens to rehearse—not just predict—the future.
