The 22nd Century people living among us

Right now, there are millions of people from the next century, walking among us – but they're not time travellers.

In the third of three films about "deep time", journalist and author Richard Fisher reflects on the 22nd Century citizen in his own family: his daughter. She, along with many other children, could live to 2100. Our family ties, he explains, extend far further across time than we realise.

Richard Fisher is a senior journalist for BBC Future, and author of The Long View.
