The Basics of a WBI Story

World Builders Incubator (WBI) will support stories in all fiction genres and narrative-based mediums – TV, film, theater, books, graphic novels, interactive stories, video games, and more.

WBI stories will be created using 3 basic tenets: 

Open imaginations to informed solutions and their impacts on daily life

Show humanity getting it together before we go off a cliff

Model achievable actions 

Stories might show:

The Path to Solutions

Example: The Ministry for the Future, by Kim Stanley Robinson

Implementation in Action

Example: A courtroom drama that follows the clerks involved in the U.S. Truth & Reconciliation and Reparations trials

Solutions Already in Place

Example: Star Trek, by Gene Roddenberry
