THE FUTURE IS SHAPED BY TECHNOLOGY. BUT TECHNOLOGY IS SHAPED BY US.

Host Wade Roush is a veteran journalist with a PhD in the history of technology from MIT. The show's sound-rich narratives feature the innovators and creators whose ideas could change our world, and the citizens and consumers who'll decide whether and how to adopt them.

Meet political scientists pondering the future of our democracy, futurists working to help us be better prepared for pandemics, rocket scientists building next-generation ion engines, biologists growing artificial meat, architects designing the cities of the future, hardware engineers changing the way we think about digital images, scientists using advanced neural interfaces to peer into our thoughts, and artists trying to make sense of modern life. And think along with Wade as he ponders how our culture can adapt technology in ways that benefit everyone.
