I believe the man pictured above needs no introduction for people who love science-fiction or dreaming of the future.

For the people who don’t know Arthur C. Clarke; he is the writer of some very famous science-fiction novels amongst which there is 2001: a space odyssey.

In 1964 BBC Horizon documented him and his extraordinary accurate visions of the future. He was given a few minutes to tell his remarkable story.

Watch Part 1, Part 2 of the documentary on Youtube.

Not only does he perfectly predict things like the internet, “social media” and other unimaginably detailed things which are now part of our everyday lives, but he does predict some creepy, yet beautiful things at the same time… What if he’s right? Just as with all the rest?

He claims mankind as we know it (“meatbags” as Bender from Futurama would put it) will soon evolve dramatically or even disappear.

He believes we will grow to exist in machines, super powerful and virtually immortal, carrying the human mind for eternity.

He insists we should embrace this technological step. Enjoy this mysterious documentary and  if it should come this far… Don’t forget to make a back-ups, ok?

Sadly, Mr. Clarke, one of the 20th centuries’ great minds passed away in 2005.
