Diegetic prototypes - To ware or vapourware passing through solutionism and paleo-future

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The object of this paper is to discuss the concept(s) of Design Fiction(s), and to elaborate a critical re-definition of the terms from Literary Theory and Narrato logy's stand-points. By so doing, it aims to propose a clarification of the types of objects frameable by Design Fiction (DF), and shorten the gap between the latter and Interactive Fiction (IF), loT (Internet of Things) fictions and AR (Augmented Reality) whenever these practices are being used to tell stories. Smart-houses will be used as an example of successful DF narratives.
