We live in a world of self-driving cars, of computers that speak - and listen, of cities that share, vacuum cleaners that spy, a world where all of us walk around with all the world’s knowledge in the palm of our hands. The coming ‘next billion seconds’ are the most important in human history, as technology transforms the way we live and work. On THE NEXT BILLION SECONDS, we talk to some of the brightest minds shaping our world, charting our path as we voyage into an incredible future. Guests like Dr. Genevieve Bell, Andy Polaine, Katie Mack and Kate Torney take us on a tour of a future that's just around the corner - but out of this world.
