On this one I’m personally very predictably an engineer. Every one of my ideas has started out as a technological premise. Then narrative structure, mood/aesthetics, and power/politics in that order.

won't be surprised if technological premise is most common since we imagine variable futures and their moods shaped by variable technology. seems less common to assume mood influences tech
