The History of the Future: How Power Always Predicts What Comes Next

The History of the Future: How Power Always Predicts What Comes Next

Adrian Vellum is a writer and systems thinker whose work explores the hidden architectures of influence that shape our collective future. With a background in narrative strategy and a lifelong curiosity for the mechanics of power, Vellum writes at the intersection of culture, technology, and political imagination. Drawing from history, media, and philosophy, his work unpacks how the future has become one of the most contested terrains of control in the modern era. He believes that reclaiming our agency begins with asking better questions about the futures we're sold-and who benefits when we stop questioning them.
