Project Future Malaysia is an online project where 10 Malaysian creatives reimagine an equitable, fair and sustainable Malaysia through fiction and art. We speak to its founder, Kevin Bathman, and one of the featured writers, Jaymee Goh, about imagining an optimistic future for the nation, and the potential of speculative fiction and futurism in creating a space to do so. We close off the conversation with some futuristic reading recommendations.
