OPEN FUTURESJoseph Monzel Zach Postone Melissanthi Saliba
Open Futures is a collaborative storytelling platform that
engages people in envisioning the future of California. The
platform prompts people to exchange, discuss, and develop
their ideas about the future. Participants can also build
upon the ideas of others by extending the narrative in new
