What did Arthur C. Clarke have to say in 1968 about communication in the distant future? Buried in the middle of a single page in 2001: A Space Odyssey, on a trip to the moon, is an interesting description of Clarke’s imagined future and our realized present. It’s always uncanny when science fiction gets something right, but that’s not why I’m bringing this up. Instead, I’m more curious with this question: What can we learn from it? Yes, our communication is in chaos. It’s like we’re all standing around in the same room shouting, saying everything, hearing nothing. So, how do we filter the noise from the signal? Well, let’s go on a literary journey to the moon, and see what we can learn from Clarke’s Newspad.

Three Things We Can Learn from Arthur C. Clarke’s Journey to the Moon:

  1. Create time buffers for your mind and information to update responsibly.
  2. Create an environment of creativity that allows you to limit the amount of external chaos.
  3. Imagine a Utopia that isn’t dull and start bringing that to life, instead of contributing to systematic chaos.
