Peter Kuper illustrated a scenario for the documentary Containment:
Containment treated, in part, the U.S. government’s attempts to invent a linguistic or paralinguistic means of warning future generations of the dangers of a nuclear-waste dump. Those efforts have been a fertile ground for the imagination ever since. (I’ve thought about it for 20 years.) Indeed, “imagination” was explicitly tapped, like a well untainted by nucleotides, in a related government project that ginned up future scenarios, including this one:
A feminist world, 2091
Women dominate society, partially through selection of girl babies. Twentieth-century science is discredited as male arrogance. Warnings about repository are dismissed as another example of muddled masculine thinking.
Aren’t we there already‽
