lubadusfuture

Lubadusfuture is a neologism used in contemporary discourse to describe a framework for analyzing and constructing long-term futures in technology, governance, and society. It is a flexible concept rather than a fixed theory, allowing researchers and practitioners to discuss potential trajectories, risks, and opportunities without prescribing a single path.

The term does not have a single, well-established origin. It appears in online forums, speculative writing, and some academic articles since the early 2020s. Its etymology remains unclear, with various proposals ranging from a creative portmanteau to an acronym used in collaborative futures projects.

In practice, lubadusfuture is used as an interpretive lens for scenario planning, long-term policy design, and ethical analysis. Proponents emphasize resilient systems, inclusive governance, and adaptability to unforeseen changes. Critics argue that such futures can be speculative or normative, depending on how they are framed and who defines the framing.

The term also appears in speculative fiction and design exercises to imagine sociotechnical ecosystems. It is not tied to a single organization or curriculum, and its meaning can vary by context.
