 +**NOTE** //First written in 2003, this Dream of Collective Creation narrates how a bunch of visionaries like ourselves got together to work cooperatively to create a utopian vision for those bitter times. Their efforts, as you will see, eventually go viral and help spark the planetary revolt. ​
  
 +Well, comrades, the first part of my self-fullfilling prophecy is finally being realized here today with the creation of our Future Historians’ Study Group and Collective Writing Project.

 As conditions got worse and worse in the first quarter of the 21st century and dispair became prevalent, a group of scholars and activists decided to accept the challenge to dream up Utopias for their time. The dreamers were seeking to invent likely scenarios whereby human inhabitants of a dying planet could establish societies capable of saving it before it was too late. They created a website to attract other dreamers. They lived on different continents and belonged to different cultures, but the Web permitted them to collaborate at a distance, ​ holding discussions and eventually writing collaborative texts. As conditions got worse and worse in the first quarter of the 21st century and dispair became prevalent, a group of scholars and activists decided to accept the challenge to dream up Utopias for their time.
