1. The metaverse blend: Hyper-enhancing our hybrid future (Fast Forward S2)
Metaverses are immersive virtual worlds accessed through gaming consoles, VR headsets and computers. In them, you can do almost anything you’d do in the real world, and express your individuality through fashion. And you can start to learn how to interact with others in the metaverse, such as playing sports in teams. Interestingly, the metaverse itself is already changing what these activities will likely mean to us in future. In this first episode of Fast Forward’s second season, writer and presenter Ghislaine Boddington meets Michaela Larosse of digital fashion house The Fabricant and Professor Andy Miah, Chair of Science Communication and Future Media at University of Salford, UK. Fast Forward is produced for global cybersecurity brand Kaspersky’s cyberculture channel Tomorrow Unlocked. When you’re traveling to virtual worlds, your digital life matters.

4. The extended self: Our future digital twins (Fast Forward S2)
In the future, will we each have a digital bio-twin beside us, ready to whisper in our ear when our biometric data shows we’re at risk? Scientists say genes affect our lifespan by just 10 to 25 percent, making preventing illness key to extending our lives. Today, tech that quantifies our biophysical performance abounds, and more is on the way. But how should we protect our precious and private health information, while taking advantage of these powerful, possibly life-extending tools? And what can be done about the missing data of women, people of color and others historically ignored by medical research? Writer and presenter Ghislaine Boddington discusses the exciting and thorny topic of our extended selves in healthcare tech with Michael Geer, Co-founder of Humanity app, Marija Butkovic, world expert in women’s health innovation and Founder of Women of Wearables and David Emm, Principal Security Researcher at Kaspersky.

5. Cyborg shifts: Embedding tech in our bodies (Fast Forward S2)
When researchers created a ‘third thumb’ prosthesis and taught people how to use it, they found changes in the brain. As we see advanced convergence of embedded body tech into non-medical uses, we must explore the potential for unintended consequences alongside benefits like productivity and convenience. Today, systems like passports and medical ethics struggle to accept people augmented for non-medical reasons. Will we need a bill of cyborg rights? Glimpse our evolving cyborg world with writer and presenter Ghislaine Boddington, speaking with Dani Clode, prosthetic, augmentation and product designer at Cambridge University’s Alternative Limb Project, augmented artist Neil Harbisson, who sees himself as a 'Trans Species,' and David Emm, Principal Security Researcher at Kaspersky.
