Imagine a better future, and build it

Imagine a place where writers and scientists work together to advance their visions of a future that is techno-optimistic in nature rather than one doomed by machines. ASU’s new Center for Science and the Imagination is such a place. Arizona State University in collaboration with Intel and the Society for Science & the Public, the center serves as a physical and intellectual hub for audacious moonshot ideas and a cultural engine to reignite humanity’s grand ambitions for innovation and discovery.

“The center will encourage writers, scholars, designers, artists, engineers and researchers from many disciplines to ask challenging questions and collaborate radically to reimagine technologies and discoveries just visible on the horizon.” – Ed Finn, director of the center and assistant professor in the School of Arts, Media + Engineering and the Department of English
