Control Wars is a scenario-building method for co-designing futures through play, generative conflict and prototyping. Through evolving scenarios that intersect technology, politics, culture and governance, participants rehearse strategic and systems design.
Conceived as an adaptive tool, Control Wars has explored themes such as Data Commons, AI, Climate Change, Space Exploration, social change during COVID-19 and Post-Growth. Control Wars stimulates social imagination, challenges hegemonic imaginaries, and facilitates future literacy skills.
