And this series of documentaries will surprise us to find that the most brain-opening plots in the original science fiction works have been quietly researched and practiced. What we glimpse in science fiction works may be our future. “Future Hitchhiker’s Guide” is produced by Station B and produced by BBC Science Unit.
