Next Episode of Prophets of Science Fiction is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
An auteur of science fiction himself, Scott goes from behind the camera to on-air guide to explore the relationship between genre and the constantly-evolving worlds of science and technology. From Isaac Asimov, to Jules Verne, to Robert Heinlein, to George Lucas, the dreams of storytellers often become the inspiration for researchers seeking mankind's next transformative discovery.
Isaac Asimov dreamed of a future where robots perform the dirty work of mankind. His stories led to the creation of real-life industrial robots and inspired generations to embrace the technology of a robot friendly world.
Jules Verne is the ultimate futurist with a legacy of sci-fi stories predicting everything from fuel cell technology to viral advertising. His extraordinary voyages span from the center of the Earth to the surface of the moon.
Author Robert Heinlein predicted the science of the future, digging deeper into the impact of technology on individual lives. A seeming contradiction, his stories address themes of both patriotism and man's inability to cooperate.
Star Wars is one of the defining science fiction works of the later 20th century, and the imagination of George Lucas has inspired generations of scientists and engineers to push the envelope of technology.
