Susan Fowler Rigetti Joins Slate’s Future Tense as Its New Editor
SlateFuture Tense—which is a partnership of Slate, Arizona State University, and the think tank New America—is thrilled to announce its new editor is journalist, author, and screenwriter Susan Fowler Rigetti. “After being a loyal Future Tense reader for many years, it feels pretty surreal and incredibly special to join such an amazing team,” said Susan Fowler Rigetti. I’m a big believer in the power of the future to help us understand the present: It can pull us out of the context of our present world and allow us to better see who we are, where we are, and where we’re going; it can help us decide where we want to go and figure out who we want to be.” Future Tense, which launched in 2011, is the citizen’s guide to the future, publishing work that looks at the intersection of technology, science, policy, and society. “Susan’s past work and experiences are also aligned with ASU’s broader efforts to democratize access to knowledge through storytelling, and we’re excited to welcome her back to the ASU community.” While Future Tense primarily publishes reporting and commentary about emerging technologies, it also releases short works of speculative fiction.
