Episode Information

One of our definitive human traits - the collection and manipulation of data - holds promises and pitfalls for our future. Data makes predictions possible and allows us to look for deeper meaning in the universe, but it is a double edged sword - bad data and biased data wreak untold havoc in our interactions.

These are the stories of the future that big data is bringing to our doorsteps; the extreme adventures in gathering remote data; the real world dangers of predictions; artificial intelligence and sentient machines, and hacks and exploits that expose our darkest secrets to the world.

In each episode, over 4 dark and mysterious stories, experts contribute their hypotheses as the narrator unfolds the elements, telling the story through archive imagery, stock footage, and a data driven approach to motion graphics and CGI.
