🔗 设计虚构：用设计思考未来丨Design Fiction - 知乎 (zhihu.com)
设计虚构是一种通过原型和故事来推演新的设计想法的方式。
Design fiction 着重于歌颂科技的进步，而鲜有关于对科技发展而导致负面作用的质疑，这也是 design fiction 与 speculative design的一个显著区别。
究竟是谁最初提出 Design Fiction 一词尚未得出确切结论。常常有人将其归功于科幻作家 Bruce Sterling。目前最早能在文献中追溯到的起源是来自于Bruce Sterling 2005年的著作 Shaping Things。后2009年， Julian Bleecker 在 Design Fiction: A Short Essay on Design, Science, Fact and Fiction 一文在 Shaping Things 的基础上将 design fiction 的内容进行了完善并将其发扬。
Bruce Sterling在 Torie Bosch 的一篇采访稿中，也引述了 Bruce 对于 design fiction 下的定义。Bruce 称设计虚构是一种故意使用故事性的原型来终止人们对于改变的疑虑（的手法）；是一种设计，而非单纯的虚构内容；这种设计描绘着世界（和世界观），而非仅仅讲故事。
“an approach to design that speculates about new ideas through prototyping and storytelling.” (Bruce Sterling)
（设计虚构是）一种设计的手段。用这种手段借助原型和讲故事来推演新的想法
Design fiction is a design practice aiming at exploring and criticising possible futures[1][2] by creating speculative, and often provocative, scenarios narrated through designed artifacts. It is a way to facilitate and foster debates, as explained by futurist Scott Smith: "... design fiction as a communication and social object creates interactions and dialogues around futures that were missing before. It helps make it real enough for people that you can have a meaningful conversation with".[3]🔗 Design fiction - Wikipedia
Design Fiction is making things that tell stories. It’s like science-fiction in that the stories bring into focus certain matters-of-concern, such as how life is lived, questioning how technology is used and its implications, speculating bout the course of events; all of the unique abilities of science-fiction to incite imagination-filling conversations about alternative futures. It’s about reading P.K. Dick as a systems administrator, or Bruce Sterling as a software design manual. It’s meant to encourage truly undisciplined approaches to making and circulating culture by ignoring disciplines that have invested so much in erecting boundaries between pragmatics and imagination.
Design fiction 会在描绘中牺牲掉某些科技可能带来的（不合理的）奇迹般的感觉，而更多关注在科技、社会间的冲突。
