Synopsis

READY FOR THE IMPACT? 10” AND THE FUTURE IS…NOW!

We went looking for the Future. We projected ourselves in 60 years’ time to find out how we are going to live in 2077.

Where will we be? With what resources are we going to live? Which technologies are we going to use? How are we going to respond to our concerns?

What sort of humankind do we want to be? Where do we want to go, and how? Which consequences are our acts today going to have in the future?

These are some of the questions addressed in this fascinating, 4-episode journey between the future, the present and the past.

We met influential personalities in global society and launched this challenge: how do you depict the world in 60 years, in a wide variety of areas? Natural resources, power, transportation, space, climatic change, economic development, politics, war, society, health and food, artificial intelligence, values, art and culture are some of the topics approached in this documentary series.

The next few decades will undergo the biggest and fastest transformation ever. In technology, in science, in interpersonal relations. We live in a kind of large science accelerator, where the rhythm of discovery never ceases to surprise us. In the last few decades more scientific knowledge has accumulated than in the whole history of Humankind. In 2077, this scientific knowledge will have duplicated several times.

We build bridges with the Present and the Past in order to understand how we can influence the Future, in the certainty that our choices today will change the world of tomorrow.

Michio Kaku (Theoretical Physicist), George Friedman (Geopolitical forecaster), Nick Bostrom (Director of the Future of Humanity Institute), Paul Saffo (Sillicon Valley-based forecaster), Rosi Braidotti (Philosopher), Pete Worden (Former Director of NASA Ames Research Center), ​Prem Rawat (Peace Ambassador).
