Hey,

WHAT IF SPECULATIVE FICTION COULD BECOME A LABORATORY FOR CIVILIZATIONAL DESIGN?
I'm Hèrmàn Resende, an aspiring sci-fi author exploring how complexity science, systems thinking, and future governance can illuminate the path toward resilient civilizations.
TRANSLATING COMPLEXITY INTO NARRATIVE
I'm currently writing my first speculative fiction novel while documenting the journey publicly through Flow Venture Weekly, my weekly newsletter.
My background in agriculture taught me how complex adaptive systems evolve, lessons I now translate into narratives about civilizational futures.
I explore how societies might be designed intentionally rather than allowed to emerge chaotically.
My work synthesizes:
- Complexity science and systems thinking
- Future governance structures
- Civilizational engineering principles
- Speculative fiction as a prototyping tool
I write for researchers, fellow writers, and readers who believe we can build better tomorrows on purpose, not by accident.
WHAT I EXPLORE
Civilizational Engineering - How might we design societies that evolve toward resilience rather than collapse? Exploring principles from complexity science applied to civilizational scale.
Future Governance - What governance structures can adapt to exponential technological change while maintaining equity and foresight? Reimagining power for an AI-augmented world.
Societies to Come - Which cultural operating systems help civilizations thrive amid flux? Envisioning futures where human ingenuity meets emergent technology intentionally.
LET'S EXPLORE TOGETHER
If speculative fiction, complexity science, or civilizational futures resonate with you,
I'd love to connect.
