Justin Pickard

Justin is a writer, researcher, and self-declared 'gonzo futurist'.

Focusing his attention on new forms of writing, cyborgs, digital technologies and science fiction, Justin has made it his mission to grok the emerging contours of the twenty-first century. He works with us on the conceptual development of projects, company strategy and publications. 

At various points in the past five years, Justin has 'game mastered' a massively-multiplayer online forecasting simulation, stumbled around north London with a lump of plastic taped to his face, and – most recently – helped herd thirty teenagers through a two-week intensive residential course in foresight and innovation.

Sitting on a stalled novel about infrastructure and post-disaster politics, he spends far too much time of his free time on Twitter, where he can be found – posting furiously – as @justinpickard.
