Films from the Future is, at heart, a book about emerging trends in technology innovation, and the challenges and opportunities of ensuring they benefit society, without causing undue harm. It’s a book that I hope will entertain and intrigue readers from business leaders and entrepreneurs, to policy makers, consumers, tech geeks, and pretty much anyone interested in emerging technologies and where they are potentially taking us.

This is what people are saying about it:


Danielle Feinberg, Director of Photography at Pixar


Neal Lane, former science advisor to President Bill Clinton


Charlie Oliver, CEO of Tech 2025


Gray Scott, futurist and author of The Automated, Digitized, and Simulated Future
