Résumé
Today designers often focus on making technology easy to use, sexy, and consumable. In Speculative Everything, Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby propose a kind of design that is used as a tool to create not only things but ideas. For them, design is a means of speculating about how things could be-to imagine possible futures. This is not the usual sort of predicting or forecasting, spotting trends and extrapolating ; these kinds of predictions have been proven wrong, again and again.
Instead, Dunne and Raby pose "what-if" questions that are intended to open debate and discussion about the kind of future people want (and do not want).
