2024 – Canceling ‘Lolla’

There’s a lot we don’t know about our possible futures, but one thing we do: they've got a software glitch in them, in the voicemail system. So voicemails of the future are getting sent back to our time. Yeah. Weird.

We Coasters worked through the 4th Chronofall (2014-18) to find these voicemails and listen to the futures they're happening in.  So now you can listen to them too.

Now, straight talk: FutureCoast is an experiment in participatory cli-fi. The voicemails you hear were authored and performed by the public. Hundreds of people called in to contribute their ideas – the ones posted here are just a sample. 

The goal is to use FutureCoast's fictional premise to springboard our thinking about possible futures. Read more at Situation Lab: https://situationlab.org/futurecoast/

If you would like to add your own voicemail of the future to the FutureCoast archive, you can! Email your audio to futurecoast at writerguy dot com.
