How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go? Do you live for the now or invest in your future? Who would you trust to interpret your destiny? Will the next generation of personalised forecasting tools create potential dilemmas for you?

These questions are posed by The Futures Association for Therapy and Entertainment (FATE)- an organisation devoted to facilitating new ways to envision the future of self-knowledge.

This organisation explores the cross-fertilisation between three methodologies of futurism; ancient divination, corporate forecasting and predictive gene testing.
