We love to imagine the future. But why is dramatic future technology always just around the corner, and never a reality? For decades we’ve delighted in dreaming about a sci-fi utopia, from flying cars and bionic humans to hoverboards; with driverless cars first proposed at the 1939 World’s Fair. And why not? Building a better world, be it a free-flying commute or an automated urban lifestyle is a worthy dream. Given the pace of technological change, nothing seems impossible anymore. But why are these innovations always out of reach? Delving into the remarkable history of technology, ‘The Long History of the Future’ also looks at what lies ahead, showing how the origins of our technology may provide insight into how it realistically evolves.
