Rod
Roddenberry.

Rod Roddenberry grew up in his father's world and works to keep that vision alive. As head of Roddenberry Entertainment, he supports storytellers who build on Star Trek's premise: the future is worth striving for.

Neal
Stephenson

He coined "metaverse" in 1992, long before it existed. Snow Crash and others show how people tackle hard problems. That's the bet behind Future Vision XPRIZE, $3.5M for the best three-minute film about a future worth pursuing.
