Scott Smith (born 1967) is a futurist, strategist, and writer known for coining the phrase "flatpack futures." Flatpack futures refers to "future technological systems which are imagined as readymade products that people will choose to adopt, rather than as the assembled work of countless different actors." Smith argues that this conception of the way the future will play out is limiting and counterproductive.
