‘One useful definition calls design fiction “an approach to design that speculates about new ideas through prototyping and storytelling.”’

Bruce Sterling’s explanation of Design Fiction at first kind of confused me, but then when he brought up the whole ‘iPad in the 2001 film ‘A Space Odyssey” being a successful example of Design Fiction the idea seemed to make a bit more sense. So, after reading both Bruce Sterling and Matthew Ward’s pieces, I guess I feel like I now know a new term – Design Fiction. I’d never heard of it before, nor ever really thought about the concept of it. But I like it. I don’t really know how to explain much about what I learnt from this reading, but as I was browsing through some other students blogs (..trying to see how they were running theirs, trying to get some more ideas for my own,) I came across Arthur’s post about Design Fiction, and I really like how he explained the concept and made it slightly more simple to understand. After reading his thoughts on this, my mind is more at ease with the idea of Design Fiction and what it entails. So Thanks Arthur!
