Synopsis

Inventing The Future is a documentary which explores how thinking about tomorrow became a popculture
phenomenon called Science Fiction.
Despite rich and varied origins, there is one name which can be credited with single-handedly shaping
the way we understand science fiction today as a genre. It was Hugo Gernsback who stuck his hand into
the soup of early 20th century pulp literature and fished out science fiction - giving it its name and a
clear definition, turning it into a genre that anyone could engage with. His goal was to inspire and to
stimulate young minds into speculating about how science would shape our future and to come up with
tomorrow's new inventions. In the process, he created science fiction.
