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

I think I dive into all my worlds from different angles. Usually, I just start building worlds around whatever thought was in my head at the time. I usually think about politics and narrative structure last though. Usually as I'm actually trying to write within the world.

Which one is "imagined a situation, made up a world it makes sense in, made up a history of how we got there from now"?

Narrative. Situations are like the differential equation you integrate to get a narrative.
