Q&A<br />
Predicting the future is very<br />
difficult. We might be able to<br />
forecast how a trend will develop,<br />
but individual products? Much<br />
harder. This is why the work of<br />
Arthur Radebaugh is so amazing.<br />
Closer Than We Think is about the<br />
mid–20th-century comic strip and its<br />
creator, Arthur Radebaugh.<br />
The film provides important<br />
insight into what made the comic a<br />
foundation for other popular science<br />
fiction endeavors. More importantly,<br />
it shows how the strip directly<br />
encouraged nascent engineers and<br />
scientists to actualize the future<br />
described therein.<br />
The film also contains interviews<br />
with the legendary Syd Mead (TRON,<br />
BLADE RUNNER).<br />
A must-see for everyone, but<br />
certainly for those into futurism,<br />
tech, design, advertising or a<br />
nostalgic view of the future.<br />
