Flash Fic Friday, Vol. 1

By: Leon Furze

Date: June-August 2025

These stories were originally published in June-August 2025 on LinkedIn, a platform which is, frankly, best suited to marketing experts telling other marketers how to market. For some reason, Leon thought it would be funny to start posting flash fic about the future of AI, digital technologies, and education on the world’s best B2B Marketing platform. It took off, and now there’s a small but dedicated group of weird educators regularly posting tiny snippets of dystopian – and sometimes even utopian – fiction on LinkedIn.
