Imagined Tomorrow explores weird, fun, scary future scenarios for India. Futures that might become a reality when science and tech try to solve problems within India's unique contexts. Wondering what if an asteroid was headed towards India? Can we pick a climate-safe home? What if we had AI judges in our courts? Join us, as we dig into these thought experiments, with a little bit of speculation and a whole lot of science – all imagined from an Indian point of view. Imagined Tomorrow is an independently created, non-commercial, speculative-journalism podcast.
