2024: Terra Incognita

Terra Incognita is the term that mapmakers used to describe unknown lands where they warned, "here be dragons". We think this theme is an apt description of our current moment. As we sail into uncharted waters — where reality is changing faster than our legal systems, institutions, and our capacity for sense-making — we are truly living in Terra Incognita.
