We go on location for our interview with Iain Kerr, cofounder of the design and research collective SPURSE, where their sci-fi story for Issue 1 takes place. "2021 – 2051” is a work of speculative fiction that chronicles a 30-year period when the lives of a research scientist and a coyote interweave along the New Jersey Turnpike, as it meets the Meadowlands.

From the shores of Hackensack River, Kerr describes the premise of the story, what the future of New Jersey might look like in 2051, how we’ll need to adapt to a new climate and who we’ll encounter along the way.
