We discuss the revival of the 'Connections' docuseries on Curiosity Stream with science historian James Burke. Brace yourselves for a mind-blowing look at our past, and our future.Space.com recently had the opportunity to talk with James Burke about the revival of his popular docuseries"Connections with James Burke," 45 years after it first aired.
Space.com: It's been 45 years since the first episodes of"Connections" aired, and technological advances since then have been colossal. Were you faced with new challenges when putting together this new series?I was particularly interested in the history of change and the developments that led to , and then I had to decide something before I began, which was, What are the shows' ending? And in that sense, I found six endings that I thought were important in our own future.
What I did was to start by reading and widening circles around that thing, whatever it was; let's say it's the internet in the future. Read backwards to find an antecedent around that and then read backwards and find an antecedent around that,each time looking for an antecedent that was likely to be surprising and, with a bit of luck, amusing and informative. And there's a lot of it, so it was an easy way to do the job. The hardest trick was to find out when to stop.
