Stephen Hawking's Science of the Future

Stephen Hawking’s Science of the Future surveys the most transformative innovations shaping tomorrow. Each episode focuses on a single area of progress and sends five leading scientists to actively test the inventions and breakthroughs driving it. The team investigates human upgrades, the virtual world, bio-mimicry, high-tech emergency response capabilities, and more. With a broad array of examples—from advanced robotics and stunning digital actors to cutting-edge smart homes and electronic brain stimulation—the series shows how science is delivering astonishing improvements to everyday life. Using the evidence they collect, the team reveals the year when each innovation will be rolled out for universal benefit, and Hawking then offers his own uniquely insightful predictions about what our world will look like in the years ahead.
