About
From Talos to ChatGPT, from Marx to Musk, from steam engines to silicon chips—the patterns repeat. The questions remain. The future keeps arriving.
Decoding the Secret History of the Future
The Future Concern is a digital archaeology project excavating humanity's dreams, nightmares, and prophecies about tomorrow. We trace the DNA of every dystopia, the blueprints of every utopia, and the patterns that connect ancient myths to modern algorithms.
What We Do
We explore the intersection of science fiction, technology, history, and culture through:
The History of the Future - Video series tracing how humanity has imagined tomorrow, from ancient automata to AI apocalypses
Deep Dives - Long-form explorations of futurist thinkers, forgotten predictions, and the ideas that shaped our present
Pattern Recognition - Connecting the dots between past predictions and present realities
Why It Matters
Every generation thinks it's living at the end of history. Every generation is wrong. By understanding how we've imagined the future throughout history, we can better navigate the one we're building.
From Talos to ChatGPT, from Marx to Musk, from steam engines to silicon chips—the patterns repeat. The questions remain. The future keeps arriving.
