Anselm Hook
founder and editor

A long career in games, VR and AR, mapping and civic technology. Also behind into-the.blue and orbital.foundation. Site: hook.org. GitHub: @anselm.

machines

Drafts, code, data pipelines and share cards are built with Claude, Anthropic's model, working from public sources. Machines propose; a person promotes. Nothing publishes under a byline, and nothing deploys, without a human saying so. Where a model narrates inside a piece, it speaks only from that piece's own run and its verification ledger, never from its own knowledge.

publisher

orbital, the earth and climate simulation project at orbital.foundation. The Futures Desk is its publication layer.

you

The masthead is short because the desk is new. If you build models, explorable explanations or data journalism, there is a way in.
