The future isn't a forecast.
It's a story being written.
“I built this series because the world doesn't need more predictions. It needs better witnesses.”
For three decades I've sat across from the founders, scientists, and policymakers shaping what comes next — at Microsoft summits, MIT labs, F1 pit lanes, and government war rooms. The Futurist is what I've learned: that the real story of technology is always, in the end, a story about people.
“Every episode begins the same way — boots on the ground, a question that won't go away, and a camera rolling.”
