How do you combine nostalgia with the future? This week's guest Jeffery Linn is a Speculative Cartographer who views the future through retro maps. Using vintage maps as his base to project into the future, Jeffery imagines what the world will look like in the future. His work comments on nostalgia and the rapid changes in the environment. Playful teasing climate change deniers, Jefferey maps out a world shaped by climate change in his "Conspiracy of Cartographers" studio. Tune in to hear about the link between sci-fi and cartography and find out which famous author approves of Jefferey's work.
