What might a good future look like?

Explore ideas about how to envision better, realistic, equitable futures with astrophysicist and journalist Dr. Adam Becker. Each week, Adam and a new guest will try to find hope in the darkness of the current political moment through earnest (and entertaining!) conversations about what such a future might look like. In a world where tech oligarchs and their power fantasies are driving visions of the future, Dreaming Against the Machine aims to take back the public conversation about what our world can and should be.

    Episode 1: Futurists, with Reo Eveleth
    Apr 14 2026

    Welcome to our debut show! This week, Adam talks with Reo Eveleth, journalist and podcaster, about who gets to imagine the future, the power that comes with that role, and why certain visions of the future have endured in American culture. They also discuss problematic faves, radical almanacs, a hundred years of horrifying manifestos, and the virtues of being cheesy.

    What would a good future look like? In this solo preview of the show, journalist and astrophysicist Adam Becker explains his struggles with this question, and how that led him to start this podcast. Along the way, he talks about the psychic toll of writing about terrible people, George Orwell, and the power of touching grass.
