This Discover Magazine article introduces SuperStruct, the the alternative-reality forecasting game sponsored by The Institute for The Future (a Bay Area-based think tank that uses scenario planning for forecasting).

SuperStruct is basically a scenario planning exercise, which will be conducted by thousands of participants over a 6-week period. The “game” seeks to explore what type of soutions we can develop to several major “SuperThreats”, or global crises “predicted” to occur in 2019. The name SuperStruct refers to the human ability to build social structures, one top of another.
