Is this expression okay? I'm wondering if it should be restructured...

Hi,

Just a general question. Can anyone tell me whether this sentence is correct, or is it slightly overdone and confusing? Here it is:

"Can you imagine what will the future look like?"

I'm not sure if I'm nitpicking but any help would be great!

Thanks in advance.

"Can you imagine what will the future will look like?"

That's OK. I suppose a nit-picker might prefer 'be' to 'look', but I think 'look' is fine.

Thank you! I knew something was funny but wasn't sure what. That sounds much better now.

I don't agree that my version is necessarily better. I think that asking what the future will look like can give the idea of asking for a picture rather than words. Well, that's how it strikes me,
