Dear Future (trailer)

Dear Future is Motherboard and CNET's new documentary series built on the premise that technology and science are still capable of wowing us. Fusion energy, DIY off-grid energy systems, decentralized mesh networks, the search for life on other planets, and humanoid robots aren't far-off science fiction, they're breakthroughs that are happening right now.
