In recognition of its 20th anniversary, The IBM Center for the Business of Government offers a retrospective of the most significant changes in government management during that period and looks forward over the next 20 years to offer alternative scenarios as to what government management might look like by the year 2040. Part I will discuss significant management improvements in the federal government over the past 20 years, based in part on a crowdsourced survey of knowledgeable government officials and public administration experts in the field. It will draw on themes and topics examined in the 350 IBM Center reports published over the past two decades. Part II will outline alternative scenarios of how government might change over the coming 20 years. The scenarios will be developed based on a series of envisioning sessions which are bringing together practitioners and academics to examine the future. The scenarios will be supplemented with short essays on various topics. Part II will also include essays by winners of the Center’s Challenge Grant competition. Challenge Grant winners will be awarded grants to identify futuristic visions of government in 2040. Contributions by Mark A. Abramson, David A. Bray, Daniel J. Chenok, Lee Feldman, Lora Frecks, Hollie Russon Gilman, Lori Gordon, John M. Kamensky, Michael J. Keegan, W. Henry Lambright, Tad McGalliard, Shelley H.

Spooky Technology explores our understanding of the invisible technologies in our everyday lives, from objects with ‘intelligence’ to systems in our homes that talk to us (and each other). The book is an inventory of spooky technologies, compiled by Carnegie Mellon students reviewing work across art, design, HCI, psychology, human factors research, and other fields, that has been done in this field, or adjacent to it, both historically and more recently, with commentary, essays, and interviews with creators and artists. We often hear that the technologies in our everyday lives would appear to be ‘magic’ and potentially terrifying to people in the past—instantaneous communication with people all over the world, access to a vast, ever-growing resource of human knowledge right there in the palm of our hand, objects with ‘intelligence’ that can sense and talk to us (and each other). But rarely are these ‘otherworldly’ dimensions of technologies explored in more detail. There is an often unspoken presumption that the march of progress will inevitably mean we all adopt new practices, and incorporate new products and new ways of doing things into our lives—all cities will become smart cities; all homes will become smart homes. But these systems have become omnipresent without our necessarily understanding them. They are not just black boxes, but invisible: entities in our homes and everyday lives which work through hidden flows of data, unknown agendas, imaginary clouds, mysterious sets of rules which we perhaps dismiss as ‘algorithms’ or even ‘AI’ without really understanding what that means. On some level, the superstitions and sense of wonder, and ways of relating to the unknown and the supernatural (deities, spirits, ghosts) which humanity has felt in every culture throughout history have not gone away, but started to become transferred and transmuted into new forms.

Isadella ventured out into the night on a quest. Her magic mostly comes in the form of visions, past or future, she is never certain, but tonight it was a voice that spoke to her of a lost soul. She knows not why, but she must do as asked. So in the dark Isadella follows Rahnu, an enormous white cat whom she says has the gift as well. They are drawn to the forbidden land, the Forest of Death. As they enter the dark and desolate forest the presence of evil surrounds them. Deeper within, Isadella finds the lost soul, a young man whose clothes are tattered and blood stained. He has lost all of his memories of the past except for his name, Arkton. Isadella brings him home where he will be safe. Akrton, grateful for the kindness that Isadella's family has shown him, finds it hard to leave, but it is what he must do to find his past and feel whole again. A voice in his dreams spoke of destiny and danger. Driven by this voice Arkton embarks on his own quest to find his destiny. Accompanied by Rahnu they journey back to the beginning, the Forest of Death. Arkton is confused by feelings for Isadella. For in his eyes she was a child, but his heart was saying differently. Arkton encounters many dangers along the way, but pride and determination does not keep him from reaching his quest. When finally reunited with his past and magic Arkton is torn between two worlds, the living and the dead. Some memories are too horrible to bear.
