<p>Judy Backhouse writes optimistic science fiction to explore better futures for humankind and planet Earth.</p>
<p>Before we can bring about better futures they have to be imagined, to enter the domain of the possible. Stories are a way to adjust the possibility horizon, expand our minds.</p>
<p>Judy is retired from a long career in which she designed and built information systems and researched electronic governance at the United Nations University.</p>
<p>Having earnestly pursued truth and explored the limits of evidence, she now (in the words of the immortal Le Guin) makes stuff up.</p>
