2101: A Brief History of the Future (in development).

Under assignment from ITV Studios to create a multi-part non-fiction TV series about the future of humanity. "2101" faces the challenges of today by choosing a route of die-hard optimism for the future, a path that takes responsibility and creates solutions, starting right now. That’s not to say we haven’t consumed dystopian stories of the future as much as the next sci-fi nerd. We simply doubt that more storytelling from the cliff-edge of the apocalypse is what humanity needs most right now.

Therefore, and in the spirit of the many great visionaries of the past and present, we choose to have faith and roll up our sleeves. There are plenty of reasons to be scared. But there are more reasons not to. The good news is that we can take action, right now.

2101: A Brief History of the Future is based on compelling scientific premises and their inevitable effect on humanity:

By the year 2101, more than eleven billion humans will inhabit the earth.

Close to ninety percent of us will live in urban centers.

200 years ago, the global population was one billion people, only three percent of whom were city dwellers.

"2101" communicates a strong message of individual self-responsibility. After all, “The Future” is not just a towering inevitability that arises from the ether. On the contrary, the future is the result of an infinite chain of events that we, humankind, shape actively and individually at every moment – and with the very survival of our species at stake.

If all goes well—and if we do our part to make it so—Homo sapiens in the year 2101 will have achieved a deeper understanding of our collective and individual role and thus our duty: To create a future we’d all like to live in.

Together we build our future based on the realizations and discoveries both from ancient times and moments ago. It doesn’t matter whether we as individuals are actually aware of the dynamics of cause and effect. Ignorance is NOT Bliss: We cannot escape our responsibilities by remaining ignorant of the results of our thoughts, words, and actions.

When asked what he might say to all of humanity if given the platform to do so, Arthur C. Clarke replied, “The best advice I think was given by Douglas Adams: ‘Don’t panic.’
