Future Leaders X, held September 25 2019 in Mexico City, was a hands-on conference in which attendees used co-design methodologies to reimagine the future of higher education. In the ‘University of the Future’ workshop, Liz Hunt crafted 18 scenarios inspired by 6 (mostly science fiction) novels in order to introduce industry trends most likely to affect higher education in the mid- to long-term. She divided attendees into groups by novel, encouraged them to have meaningful conversations with one another about highlighted topics, and then guided them in the creation of unique value propositions for the future of their institutions. #UniversityOfTheFuture #FutureLeadersX #HUBiLab #Santander

12. Autonomous
Topic 1
Generic/Patented/Pirated Products
Imagine you and your labmates have discovered a cure for all
mosquito-borne diseases. Your university hopes to patent it and
profit off its distribution. However, your team disagrees – in part
because their work was mostly derived from previously
published open-source research and in part because they feel
this cure should be easily accessible to all.
● Should the patenting process require the
immediate creation of lower-cost/generic
products when human lives are at stake?
● How can universities prevent theft of their
intellectual property while simultaneously
encouraging collaboration?

13. Autonomous
Topic 2
Corporate Sponsorship
Imagine you’re the chancellor of a university. ACME Inc has
offered to sponsor the budgets of your Natural Sciences and
Engineering colleges in exchange for co-branding and early
access to your research and graduating students. Legal is
confident they can negotiate an agreement that protects your
institution’s reputation for integrity and impartiality.
● How should corporate sponsorship deals be
structured to benefit the company and
university as well as higher education?
● What mechanisms should be put in place to
prevent potential real (and perceived) biases
related to corporate sponsors?

14. Autonomous
Topic 3
ISAs & Indentured Servitude
Imagine you’ve been accepted to a prestigious university.
You’ve received some scholarships, but unfortunately still aren’t
able to cover all the costs. That is... until ACME Inc offers to
pay the tuition, books, room and board, and incidentals of your
degree in exchange for 6 years of work at their headquarters
after graduation.
● What ways could you improve your financial
literacy to better assess the pros and cons of
various types of assistance?
● How can universities ensure that school loans,
ISAs, and financial assistance benefit their
students in the long-term?

15. Autonomous

16. Autonomous – Publisher Synopsis
When anything can be owned, how can we be free?
Earth, 2144. Jack is an anti-patent scientist turned drug pirate, traversing the world in a submarine as a pharmaceutical
Robin Hood, fabricating cheap scrips for poor people who can’t otherwise afford them. But her latest drug hack has
left a trail of lethal overdoses as people become addicted to their work, doing repetitive tasks until they become
unsafe or insane.
Hot on her trail, an unlikely pair: Eliasz, a brooding military agent, and his robotic partner, Paladin. As they race to stop
information about the sinister origins of Jack’s drug from getting out, they begin to form an uncommonly close bond
that neither of them fully understand.
And underlying it all is one fundamental question: Is freedom possible in a culture where everything, even people, can
be owned?

24. Binti – Publisher Synopsis
Her name is Binti, and she is the first of the Himba people ever to be offered a place at Oomza University, the finest
institution of higher learning in the galaxy. But to accept the offer will mean giving up her place in her family to travel
between the stars among strangers who do not share her ways or respect her customs.
Knowledge comes at a cost, one that Binti is willing to pay, but her journey will not be easy. The world she seeks to
enter has long warred with the Meduse, an alien race that has become the stuff of nightmares. Oomza University has
wronged the Meduse, and Binti's stellar travel will bring her within their deadly reach.
If Binti hopes to survive the legacy of a war not of her making, she will need both the gifts of her people and the
wisdom enshrined within the University, itself — but first she has to make it there, alive.

Anna Kerrigan, nearly twelve years old, accompanies her father to visit Dexter Styles, a man who, she gleans, is
crucial to the survival of her father and her family. She is mesmerized by the sea beyond the house and by some
charged mystery between the two men.
Years later, her father has disappeared and the country is at war. Anna works at the Brooklyn Naval Yard, where
women are allowed to hold jobs that once belonged to men, now soldiers abroad. She becomes the first female
diver, the most dangerous and exclusive of occupations, repairing the ships that will help America win the war. One
evening at a nightclub, she meets Dexter Styles again, and begins to understand the complexity of her father’s life, the
reasons he might have vanished.

gangsters, sailors, divers, bankers, and union men. Manhattan Beach is a deft, dazzling, propulsive exploration of a
transformative moment in the lives and identities of women and men, of America and the world.

40. Rainbows End – Publisher Synopsis
Robert Gu is a recovering Alzheimer's patient. The world that he remembers was much as we know it today. Now, as
he regains his faculties through a cure developed during the years of his near-fatal decline, he discovers that the
world has changed and so has his place in it. He was a world-renowned poet. Now he is seventy-five years old,
though by a medical miracle he looks much younger, and he's starting over, for the first time unsure of his poetic
gifts. Living with his son's family, he has no choice but to learn how to cope with a new information age in which the
virtual and the real are a seamless continuum, layers of reality built on digital views seen by a single person or millions,
depending on your choice. But the consensus reality of the digital world is available only if, like his thirteen-year-old
granddaughter Miri, you know how to wear your wireless access—through nodes designed into smart clothes—and to
see the digital context—through smart contact lenses.
With knowledge comes risk. When Robert begins to re-train at Fairmont High, learning with other older people what
is second nature to Miri and other teens at school, he unwittingly becomes part of a wide-ranging conspiracy to use
technology as a tool for world domination. In a world where every computer chip has Homeland Security built-in, this
conspiracy is something that baffles even the most sophisticated security analysts, including Robert's son and
daughter-in law, two top people in the U.S. military. And even Miri, in her attempts to protect her grandfather, may
be entangled in the plot. As Robert becomes more deeply involved in conspiracy, he is shocked to learn of a radical
change planned for the UCSD Geisel Library; all the books there, and worldwide, would cease to physically exist. He
and his fellow re-trainees feel compelled to join protests against the change. With forces around the world converging
on San Diego, both the conspiracy and the protest climax in a spectacular moment as unique and satisfying as it is
unexpected. (From Tor Science Fiction & Macmillan Publishers)

48. D.O.D.O. – Publisher Synopsis
When Melisande Stokes, an expert in linguistics and languages, accidently meets military intelligence operator Tristan
Lyons in a hallway at Harvard University, it is the beginning of a chain of events that will alter their lives and human
history itself. The young man from a shadowy government entity approaches Mel, a low-level faculty member, with
an incredible offer. The only condition: she must sign a nondisclosure agreement in return for the rather large sum of
money.
Tristan needs Mel to translate some very old documents, which, if authentic, are earth-shattering. They prove that
magic actually existed and was practiced for centuries. But the arrival of the scientific revolution and the Age of
Enlightenment weakened its power and endangered its practitioners. Magic stopped working altogether in 1851, at the
time of the Great Exhibition at London’s Crystal Palace—the world’s fair celebrating the rise of industrial technology
and commerce. Something about the modern world "jams" the "frequencies" used by magic, and it’s up to Tristan to
find out why.
And so the Department of Diachronic Operations—D.O.D.O. —gets cracking on its real mission: to develop a device
that can bring magic back, and send Diachronic Operatives back in time to keep it alive . . . and meddle with a little
history at the same time. But while Tristan and his expanding operation master the science and build the technology,
they overlook the mercurial—and treacherous—nature of the human heart.

Award(s) NPR Best Book of the Year
Kirkus' Best Fiction of 2017
The novel, set in the latter part of this century, is
about a world in which the super-rich create
corporations so effective at automating away
labor and controlling production that the bulk of
society becomes surplus and is unable to access
resources.

3. Augmented Humans & Singularity

52. Walkaway
Topic 1
3D Printing
Imagine a world in which one can quickly and cheaply produce
anything (food, clothes, building supplies, electronics, etc.) via
ubiquitous 3D printers. Many lives and industries have been
radically transformed. As production technologies continue to
advance, university programs not only must keep pace but also
need to lead the way.
● How would various industries (and university
disciplines) change with the advent of this
type of 3D printing?
● What are some ways universities can stay
abreast and advance the frontiers of
transformational technologies?

53. Walkaway
Topic 2
Open-Source vs Proprietary
Imagine you’re entering university at the same time production
technologies like 3D printing are becoming trivially cheap and
ubiquitous. As you begin to understand the effects of this
transformation on society, you realize the importance of and
focus your research on democratizing the machines’ terms of
use as well as their items’ designs.
● How do the relative pros and cons of open-
source and proprietary contribute to or
detract from innovation?
● What kind of balance should be struck
between open-source and proprietary (if any)
when providing necessities of life?

54. Walkaway
Topic 3
Augmented Humans & Singularity
Imagine that, for as long as you can remember, you’ve always
wanted to become posthuman. You follow all the latest
transhumanistic research and are saving for an ever-evolving
mix of gene edits and physical/cognitive augmentations. A few
years after graduating from university and beginning your
career, your dreams come true.
● How can universities level the playing field
between students who can and cannot afford
augmentation?
● If humanity achieves singularity, what role (if
any) will universities play in that new
potentially non-biological world?

56. Walkaway – Publisher Synopsis
Hubert Vernon Rudolph Clayton Irving Wilson Alva Anton Jeff Harley Timothy Curtis Cleveland Cecil Ollie Edmund Eli
Wiley Marvin Ellis Espinoza—known to his friends as Hubert, Etc—was too old to be at that Communist party.
But after watching the breakdown of modern society, he really has nowhere left to be—except amongst the dregs of
disaffected youth who party all night and heap scorn on the sheep they see on the morning commute. After falling in
with Natalie, an ultra-rich heiress trying to escape the clutches of her repressive father, the two decide to give up fully
on formal society—and walk away.
After all, now that anyone can design and print the basic necessities of life—food, clothing, shelter—from a computer,
there seems to be little reason to toil within the system.
It’s still a dangerous world out there, the empty lands wrecked by climate change, dead cities hollowed out by
industrial flight, shadows hiding predators animal and human alike. Still, when the initial pioneer walkaways flourish,
more people join them. Then the walkaways discover the one thing the ultra-rich have never been able to buy: how
to beat death. Now it’s war – a war that will turn the world upside down.
Fascinating, moving, and darkly humorous, Walkaway is a multi-generation science fiction thriller about the wrenching
changes of the next hundred years…and the very human people who will live their consequences.
