Futurology

Powered by ideas from the Berggruen Institute, the Futurology podcast explores the possible and illuminates the preferable paths forward for our planet in the 21st century.

The future never arrives all at once. It ripples through society long before we know what to call it.

At the Berggruen Institute, we know that we need more than prediction to name what’s next; we need invention. Each week, Institute President Dawn Nakagawa introduces us to scientists and philosophers recalibrating our cosmologies, technologists coming to terms with alien intelligence, and policymakers scrambling to design systems for a world in flux.

Join thinkers and doers from the Berggruen-verse as we imagine a future that we can accomplish together, instead of one that we’re all working to prevent.
