I’m Jessica Charlesworth and this blog helped me visualise all the stuff that kept appearing in my head whilst i finished my MA in Design Interactions in 2007 at the Royal College of Art, London.
The main thesis to my work is entitled “The Future of Self-Knowledge” and looks at the future implications predictive gene testing will have on the understanding of our futureselves. This blog captures all the research carried out during my final year at the RCA and continues to capture the many methodologies that exist out there to understand ourselves and our lives in the future.
With this this body of research I created The FATE Institute (The Futures Association for Therapy and Entertainment), a fictitious future forecasting institute that acts as a vehicle to generate personalised future forecasting services and products based on the cross pollination of corporate futurology, ancient divination and predictive gene testing.

I am loving your blog/ma thesis work.
What would Jesus buy? Genius. Scary gene stuff re: future but very relavant esp. big business- all in bed together,ie insurance companies, NHS, pharacists etc.
Have looked at about half of your site. Will save it to my favorites, plus tell my discerning friends.
