Scenario prompts are a way to develop responses to trends and developments and train your organisation’s collective change muscle, making you more profitable, resilient, and adaptable. If you want to talk about scenario prompts for you and your organisation, you can book a free appointment here.
Scenario prompts 16 Augustus 2024
Today’s prompts are the internet of senses, solar leafs, innovation, strategy, display tech, alien consciousness, material science, lungfish, and an opportunity to pre-oder my book about books about AI.

Considering alien consciousness.
Plastics turned into 200x stronger material than steel, can be used in industries
https://interestingengineering.com/science/plastics-turned-into-graphene
The team ground-up plastic bottles into microplastics and then convert the debris to graphene – a one atom thick carbon material that is harder than diamond, 200 times stronger than steel and five times lighter than aluminium.
The fish with the genome 30 times larger than ours gets sequenced
We are more closely related to lungfish.
A book about books about AI
https://www.ronimmink.com/product/a-book-about-books-about-ai/
So far, taking the perspective from 22 books/authors covering intelligence (there are many forms), work, synthetic biology, transhumanism, economics, spiritualism, digital transformation, data, etc. When you go through the books again, you start to wonder if we are asking the right questions. Pre-order to stay in the loop.
