Space Systems, Infrastructure & the Emerging Orbital Economy This is part 3 of 4 in the experiment to scan a selection of broad, globally influential, foresight domains and see what surprises result. This month's report tackles the issue of emerging space and orbital economies. Download this one for free here . We're running this experiment to test the viability of a foresight-as-a-service program, launching in 2026. There is a 2-part mission: Bring academically trained for

Field notes on emergent resistance movements operating under the radar Storm Forming? America is starting to feel brittle. We sense it in the grocery aisle where rising prices spark quiet anger. We feel it online where small disagreements become hostile contempt. We see it in the material world where rising economic inequality feeds low-grade seething. We are not exploding, but things are eroding. But something else is happening, too. Beneath the noise are flashes of a patter

Geopolitical tensions, national defense strategies, and trade dynamics are converging into a volatile new system where power is increasingly contested. From shifting alliances to technological competition, the global order is being rewritten in real time. At Fringe Foresight, we track this evolving space under the domain Geopower , which examines the militarization of new technologies, the fragility of supply chains, and the contest for strategic dominance. Our latest Trend A

Curious Signal from OverCode When we talk about infrastructure, most people imagine roads, power grids, or water systems. But in the emerging domain of Overcode —where AI, governance, and intelligent infrastructure converge—a new kind of infrastructure is quietly taking shape: civic infrastructure for algorithmic resistance . Why? Because as algorithms permeate everything from news feeds to credit scoring to public services, individuals and communities are beginning to look f

The accelerating convergence of AI, governance, and intelligent infrastructure is reshaping how societies function—and raising new questions about control, resilience, and trust. At Fringe Foresight, we call this evolving domain Overcode , where decisions are increasingly delegated to systems that operate faster, more complexly, and often more opaquely than human oversight can manage. Our latest Trend Analysis Report examines the forces driving this transformation, the risks
