2057 is a Discovery Channel television program hosted by theoretical physicist Michio Kaku. It premiered on January 28, 2007 and attempts to predict what the world will be like in 50 years based on current trends. The show takes the form of a docu-drama with three separate episodes, each having informative stories ingrained into the plot. All three episodes aired on January 28, 2007.

The first episode, "The Body", predicts medical advances from robotic surgery to flying ambulances. "The City", examines the advances futuristic technology will bring to the home such as humanoid robots and holographic pets. Finally, "The World" is probably the most complex episode of the three, discussing topics as varied as satellites that transmit data at extreme speed using lasers, to more political topics such as probable future geopolitical scenarios involving China and the United States as two opposing superpowers and the ramifications of a world-wide energy crisis with solar power positioned as a likely candidate to relieve the world's energy needs.
