We don't have flying cars, and futurists guess we never will. That's an infrastructure thing. On the other hand, leaps in communication technology have changed our lives in ways that surpass most of our wildest dreams. How does the 2015 we are living in compare to the 2015 visited by Marty McFly in Back to the Future Part II? Up next: Blade Runner, 2019.
Guests:
- Chris McKitterick, director, Gunn Center for the Study of Science Fiction at the University of Kansas
- Michael Rogers, author, practical futurist and former futurist-in-residence, The New York Times
