History of the Future

It is a 2019 documentary series by The History Channel Iberia, written and hosted by Professor Diego Rubio, and produced by Onza Entertainment. The series comprises four episodes, each of which explores one key aspect of society's future (work, democracy, globalization and climate) by analyzing past precedents and modern data and projecting historical trends. The series has been commissioned to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the channel entitled "History of the Future." To create it, the team examined hundreds of hours of archival footage and modern 4K images filmed across the five continents. The series features interviews with 19 leading academics, including Timothy Snyder (Yale), Erik Brynjolfsson (MIT), Naomi Oreskes (Harvard), Graham Allison (Harvard), Carl Benedikt Frey (Oxford), Steven Levitsky (Harvard), Rana Mitter (Oxford), César Hidalgo (MIT), Tim Leuning (LSE), Myles Allen (Oxford), Manuel Muñiz (IE) and Joanna Haigh (Imperial College).
