In this thought-provoking documentary, global specialists in futurology, anthropology, neuroscience, and philosophy explore how technological progress is affecting the two inevitable aspects of human existence: work and mortality. Tracing human evolution from ancient times, through the Industrial Revolution, to the digital era and beyond, THE FUTURE OF WORK AND DEATH examines the remarkable speed at which humanity develops technologies to simplify life. As we enter the next stage of our ‘progress’ with automation and artificial intelligence leading the shift from human to machine, the film offers a startlingly realistic glimpse into the future of human existence.
