Abstract
Futures scenarios and fantasy both take flight from the notion that th ings could be otherwise. A scenario, though, is usually seen as sugges ting a future possibility, while fantastic fiction plays with wild imp ossibilities. This essay explores two versions of communications futur es, one a comic fiction, the other a serious scenario. (C) 1998 Elsevi er Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
