Join two media students; Josh Crawley and Tim Dalton as we discuss the concept of the 'novum' in relation to speculation about the past, present and future. We explore the historical significance of future studies and the novum, some of the key contributors in the field, some pertinent examples of nova in historical, contemporary and future culture and even examine the value of nova in the creation and representation of meaning.
