Billionaire founder of XPRIZE Peter Diamandis is tired of the doomsday scenarios painted by movies like Terminator or Ex Machina.
The engineer and Harvard-trained doctor turned entrepreneur is trying to change the narrative with a new $3.5 million Future Vision XPRIZE. Backed by Google and talent management company Range Media Partners’ 100 Zeros initiative, the fund will promote “optimistic sci-fi,” offering a novel look at an often dystopian-geared subgenre of science fiction movies.
