Is a Ministry for the Future in our future? In his climate-fiction novel, Kim Stanley Robinson imagines a near-future where a governmental body takes responsibility for tackling climate change, positing black ops, open-source and cryptography as central solutions to save Earth. If such a ministry is ever created, what will its mandate be? And what kinds of tools and policies would it deploy?
