Space Economy Camp for Writers
What could a sustainable, non-exploitative economic model for space look like?
The purpose of this project is to equip storytellers with a solid foundation of economic theory that can drive new and expansive world-building based on sustainable, non-exploitative economic models for space. To achieve this we will bring together a small cohort of storytellers of different media for an in-person interactive “Space Economy Camp.”
Key accomplishments
- Hosting a multi-day Space Economy Camp for Writers from November 9-12, 2023 that brings together together respected economists and skilled writers to create new concepts for worldbuilding in speculative fiction.
- Secured $10,000 in matching funds from Breakthrough Initiatives to offset costs of the upcoming camp.
- Kim Macharia and Tracy Drain co-facilitated a discussion at The Economist’s Space Economy Summit in Los Angeles to promote the camp with 20 participants, including finance and business development professionals.
