“…This distances us from the scientific approach since the object considered is only hypothetical. These anticipation narratives 7 have however, because of their scientific character, a potential that remains interesting to exploit within the framework of the conception of a real storytelling, notably in an interactive storytelling. Furthermore, the fact that the SSPs present in such an implicit way the choices made today in order to outline five possible futures places the reader in a position where he or she is forced to make multiple inferences from the current world to the world of tomorrow, i.e.…”

“…We must however conclude this chapter by specifying that if interactivity can potentially improve the reception of SSPs in a significant way, some experiments [5,7] could not verify the hypotheses according to which it can greatly improve the comprehension of a given situation, the curiosity or the feeling of mastery, and thus of control, of the users. However, these same studies mention the fact that technical problems that occurred during the experimentation process, as well as excessive ergonomic or functional complexity, may have influenced the users in the same way as the interactivity of the tool that was the object of the experimentation.…”

Starting from the observation that a cognitive distance prevents human beings from taking the measure of the current climate crisis and adopting adequate behaviors, this article asks the question to what extent a narrative approach could help to reduce it. First, it proposes a narratological analysis of some of the scenarios of the future of the world outlined by the scientific community, the Shared Socio-economic Pathways, which leads to the conclusion that, despite the terminology used in the associated commentaries, these scenarios have little narrative value. Continuing with a questioning of the difficulties and implications of the conception of a narrative about the future, it then shows how the approach of anticipation narratives, which consist in envisioning tomorrow on the basis of choices made today, naturally approaches that of interactive narrative. Finally, it argues that transforming the scientific scenario into a fully-fledged narrative cannot be done without adding fictional elements which, if they are coherent and plausible, can only enrich it and sharpen its didactic impact.
