Rabid plants brutishly destroying the earth around them to make space for roots and branches, velvety-pink petals laced with seduction and death.

There was something viciously beautiful about spring.

High schools are a surprisingly recent institution, emerging during the early twentieth century as societies recognized the importance of educating teenagers before adulthood. Over the past hundred years, classrooms have adopted new technologies while still relying on the essential role of human teachers.

Looking one hundred years into the future, it is likely that the basic structure of high schools will remain familiar. Students will still learn together in shared spaces guided by teachers, but new technologies such as immersive simulations, interactive environments, and virtual field trips may expand how lessons are experienced.

Whether on Earth or on distant colonies in space, education will continue adapting to the needs of society — preparing each new generation to understand the world they inherit and the one they will eventually create.

The Lewin Over Ink Publishing website is now live.

It’s a small home for my writing projects, including my science fiction novel Beneath Still Stars and my futurism blog In 100 Years, where I explore realistic possibilities for life a century from now.

The site will continue growing as new articles and ideas are added.

If you’re interested in science fiction or thoughtful speculation about the future, you’re welcome to take a look.

📝 Plot: In a near-future suburb, a household’s life is upended when domestic AI robots suddenly rebel. As humans and machines clash, hidden desires, absurd situations, and social hypocrisies surface. Blending satire, dark humor, and science fiction, the film examines human dependence on technology, the chaos of AI uprising, and the fragility of modern society in a wildly entertaining, thought-provoking story.

Wie und wann entwickelst du die Welt/Umgebung, in der deine Geschichte spielt?

Ich lese gerade viel Sachbücher zu KI, neuronalen Netzen und themenverwandte #ScienceFiction.
Da das ganze außerdem eine #NearFuture-Story ist, denke ich aktuelle Entwicklungen weiter. Das ist insgesamt ein fließender Prozess aus Lesen, Nachdenken, spontanen Einfällen und schreiben.
