The Physics of the Future

A stunning journey through the next hundred years of scientific revolution.

The future is already being invented in the laboratories of the world's leading scientists. In all likelihood, by 2100 we will control computers through tiny brain sensors and be able to move objects with the power of our minds, artificial intelligence will be everywhere, and internet-connected contact lenses will put all information at our fingertips in a blink of an eye.

Molecular medicine will allow us to grow almost any organ and cure genetic diseases. Millions of tiny DNA sensors and nanoparticles will patrol our blood cells to detect any hint of disease. Rapid advances in genetic research will allow us to slow down or even reverse the aging process, dramatically extending human life.

But these extraordinary revelations are just the tip of the iceberg. Kaku studies sentient robots, antimatter rockets, X-ray vision, and the possibility of creating new forms of life. He also considers the development of the global economy and poses two key questions: who will be the winners and who will be the losers of the future? who will have jobs and which countries will prosper?

Without losing sight of rigorous scientific principles and examining the speed at which certain technologies will mature and how far they can go, Michio Kaku offers us in Physics of the Future a stunning journey through the next hundred years of scientific revolution.
