What does this mean for the future of design?
Civic simulation. Policy prototyping. Algorithmic accountability.
It’s time to think beyond screens and interfaces.

Designers are implicated in all of this.
We don’t just present data.
We shape how people perceive, decide, and act.
That means we help structure possible futures—whether we mean to or not.

This is the rise of what I call the Simulation Stack—
a layered system of:
Data collection
Predictive modeling
Outcome optimization
Behavior shaping
It’s no longer just tech. It’s infrastructure for decision-making.

Palantir simulates logistics, policing
Meta and Google model attention and behavior
Governments are following suit
