Future Worlds - My Journey to the Science of Tomorrow

Where tomorrow's science is made

Will we be able to develop alternative energy sources and thus avert the climate catastrophe? Will our democracies survive the challenges posed by new forms of communication and artificial intelligence? Will we be able to provide adequate medical care for an ageing society?
In search of answers to these and many other questions of the future, Patrick Cramer visited the 84 institutes of the Max Planck Society before taking over its presidency. In the process, he met passionately researching scientists and got to know the future worlds that are just beginning to emerge in their minds. From astronomy and climate research to biomedicine and artificial intelligence to energy research and social sciences - Cramer takes us into the engine rooms of research and provides exclusive insights into the science of tomorrow.
