Designers and writers are having fun with visions for our lives as we career towards exponential technologies taking over. Here I present Five Speculative Designs for the Future that I think are worth having a look at across:

• Floating cities
• Autonomous car/drone hybrids
• Glass user experiences
• The future of airports at YVR
• Remote control of humans

Floating Cities: Research Lab of the Future or Crazy Pipe Dream?
