Physics of the Future
How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100
By Michio Kaku
About the book
Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku speculates about how technology may develop over the next hundred years, drawing on interviews with more than three hundred scientists about their research. Chapters on computers, artificial intelligence, medicine, nanotechnology and energy are each split into three periods, running to 2030, 2070 and 2100. His forecasts include contact lenses linked to the internet, driverless cars, computers controlled by tiny brain sensors, nanobots that hunt cancer cells, and a shift to hydrogen and solar power. Kaku sets these predictions against past forecasts that wrongly doubted progress to argue that betting against the future is dangerous. The 2011 book spent five weeks as a New York Times best seller, and its forecasts reflect expectations at that time.
Michael Dell put it on his list of business books, saying Kaku's interviews with top scientists point to a future of science fiction style breakthroughs worth staying around to see.
