The Foresight Notes by Niklas Lundblad
This journal will be focusing on foresight and futures studies, and specifically on how we can update our methods and tools using different cognitive technologies.

The series reflects a change in the direction of the fellowship I am doing at TUM Think Tank, and I hope it will be interesting to follow!
Have a look at the first series of research notes on artificial agents, agency and institutions.
