Over the past year, my fascination with futures studies has grown exponentially. I've been avidly collecting books on the subject, and as of May 1, 2023, this is my current reading list:

Imaginable: How to See the Future Coming and Feel Ready for Anything—Even Things That Seem Impossible Today by Jane McGonigal

As I delve deeper into this fascinating field, I anticipate that I'll begin integrating my learnings from futures studies into various aspects of my professional life. This includes my work in leadership and team development, my previous corporate experience in product development, and my current role as a researcher and academician.

Several intriguing ideas are taking shape in my mind. However, to refine these concepts and make them a reality, I need to engage in further reflection, consult with others in the field, and begin developing minimum viable products (MVPs) to test their feasibility.
