+'''Project Hieroglyph''' is an initiative to create [[science fiction]] that will spur innovation in science and technology founded by [[Neal Stephenson]] in 2011.<ref name="smag_201204_pessimistic" />
+
+Stephenson framed the ideas behind Hieroglyph in a World Policy Institute article entitled "Innovation Starvation" <ref name="wpi_20110927_stephenson" /> where he attempts to rally writers to infuse science fiction with [[optimism]] that could inspire a new generation to, as he puts it, “get big stuff done.”
+
+Stephenson says that "a good SF universe has a coherence and internal logic that makes sense to scientists and engineers. Examples include [[Isaac Asimov]]'s robots, [[Robert Heinlein]]'s rocket ships, and [[William Gibson]]'s [[cyberspace]]. Such icons serve as hieroglyphs—simple, recognizable symbols on whose significance everyone agrees."<ref name="asu_2012_hieroglyphhomepage" />
+
+Stephenson partnered with [[Arizona State University]]'s Center for Science and the Imagination<ref name="asu_2019_csihomepage" /> which now administers the project.
+
+In September 2014, the project's first book, Hieroglyph: Stories and Visions for a Better Future, edited by Ed Finn and [[Kathryn Cramer]] was published by [[William Morrow (publisher)|William Morrow]].<ref name="hieroglyph_2015_thebook" /> Contributors to the book include Neal Stephenson, [[Bruce Sterling]], [[Madeline Ashby]], [[Gregory Benford]], [[Rudy Rucker]], [[Vandana Singh]], [[Cory Doctorow]], [[Elizabeth Bear]], [[Karl Schroeder]], [[James Cambias]], [[Brenda Cooper]], [[Charlie Jane Anders]], [[Kathleen Ann Goonan]], [[Lee Konstantinou]], [[Annalee Newitz]], [[Geoffrey Landis]], [[David Brin]], [[Lawrence Krauss]], and [[Paul Davies]].
