The Meta Olympia project is a collaborative world building exercise aimed at creating an alternate-future property that can be applied to numerous media experiments.

The methodology for the development is been based on a ‘real-time’ non-deterministic approach. Rather than author a story in a traditional manner – a fictional foundation and concept designs were created with probability simulators written to produce non-deterministic events and results. These were then deployed to writers and artists to interpret into short segment articles. These events were generated weekly, thus the world-building happened in real-world time, like the news, where contributors were required to channel themselves 60 years into the future.

These are links to some of the background components and the raw original articles that were created.
