Nel nostro futuro non ci sono omini verdi, né raggi laser o viaggi nel tempo, non ci flotte spaziali o teletrasporti: noi, figli del futuro, ragazze e ragazzi del nuovo millennio viviamo già tra assistenti virtuali, intelligenze artificiali, cambiamenti climatici, Big Data, droni, stampanti 3D, social network e nanotecnologia. Se ignoriamo cosa sia un maniscalco – il gommista moderno – lo cerchiamo online con un motore di ricerca, ma sappiamo che domani le auto si guideranno e ripareranno da sole e che quel lavoro, come molti altri, potrebbe non esistere più.
