2125: Utopia or dystopia – what will it be?

It’s 2125, and you’ve magically stayed the same age you were in 2025. What does your everyday life look like?

15 writers of all ages from across the city imagined how their neighbourhoods would change and how they might still be able to live there. This series of super-short pieces of writing are featured on posters throughout the city this Summer. Have a read and imagine what your life might be like in 100 years!
