What Will It Be Like
What Will It Be Like is dormant at the moment. Previously, it was a weekly dose of short fiction about quiet moments in the future. Cryptic, curious, poetic, like a Group of Seven painting, like “Not Ideas About the Thing but the Thing Itself,” like a long-lost journal. Arriving in your inbox early Sunday morning, while you are sleeping.
Here are a few stories from the archive.
What will it be like to meet your dead father?
What will it be like when the air quality is bad year-round?
What will it be like when you can tune people’s personalities in real time?
Who writes this?
I do. I’m David Yourdon.
