About the journal

Science fiction as evidence,
not prophecy.

Future Histories of AI examines the imagined machines, institutions, labor systems, and everyday lives that have shaped how people understand artificial intelligence.

What we ask

We do not grade stories by whether they predicted a gadget correctly. We ask what each future assumes about power, ownership, work, knowledge, and human worth—and which of those assumptions are becoming infrastructure now.

What readers receive

Public essays connect speculative worlds to contemporary choices. Members receive essays seven days early, shorter bonus notes, bookmarks, reading history, and newsletter dispatches they can control at any time.

Our method

Every article distinguishes evidence, interpretation, and speculation. Sources and citations live beside the argument. The purpose is not to make the future feel inevitable; it is to make the present more legible.
