We are on the threshold of summer 2013. European scientists have developed a powerful computer capable of running the European economy autonomously. The computer E-HAL 2014 (European High Administration Logics) will start functioning on the 27^th May, 2014, the anniversary of the Rome Treaties, in order to take control of the economies of those countries integrated in the Euro Zone, in accordance with maximally effective criteria, making the intervention of political representatives and citizens in the economic field dispensable.   What is the limit of the political in the context of economic activity based on the knowledge of techno-scientists?   A crisis cabinet is summoned to study the definition of a new type of government and develop a protocol for the implementation of E-HAL 2014’s instructions.   Work Group   The Gabinete de Crisis de  ficciones políticas is a space for discussion and for the prototyping of modes of possible coexistence. The aim of the work group is to bring future scenarios to the present through testing them in fiction, and makes the articulation of a new political ecology become possible.
