Control Wars is simultaneously a scenario-building toolkit for co-designing futures through play, generative conflict, and prototyping, as well as an inventive research method to observe how imaginaries and expectations evolve in contentious areas.

Post-Growth Control Wars is the latest iteration of this toolkit, centred on the controversies surrounding the limits of growth. By exploring the tensions between degrowth, longtermism, neo-luddism, and ecomodernism, Post-Growth Control Wars stimulates socio-economic imagination, challenges the western technosolutionist optimism, and rehearses possible strategies for advancing towards a thriving society capable of respecting planetary boundaries.
