Summary

Space elevators。 Internet-enabled contact lenses。 Cars that fly by floating on magnetic fields。 This is the stuff of science fiction--it's also daily life in the year 2100。



Renowned theoretical physicist Michio Kaku details the developments in computer technology， artificial intelligence， medicine， space travel， and more， that are poised to happen over the next hundred years。 He also considers how these inventions will affect the world economy， addressing the key questions: Who will have jobs？ Which nations will prosper？ Kaku interviews three hundred of the world's top scientists--working in their labs on astonishing prototypes。 He also takes into account the rigorous scientific principles that regulate how quickly， how safely， and how far technologies can advance。 In Physics of the Future， Kaku forecasts a century of earthshaking advances in technology that could make even the last centuries' leaps and bounds seem insignificant。

Amazing insight about physics applications in the future

Dan Howard ，

This was a very disappointing read for me。 This is the first Kaku book I have read。 I realize he is a very popular science writer， but I really struggled getting through this book。 I could only read 10 to 20 pages before getting bored and putting it down。 I kept coming back thinking it would get better， but it never did。 The predictions of the future of various technologies seemed to be more idle speculation than insightful forecasting。 Many areas were so dumbed down that it became very tedious This was a very disappointing read for me。 This is the first Kaku book I have read。 I realize he is a very popular science writer， but I really struggled getting through this book。 I could only read 10 to 20 pages before getting bored and putting it down。 I kept coming back thinking it would get better， but it never did。 The predictions of the future of various technologies seemed to be more idle speculation than insightful forecasting。 Many areas were so dumbed down that it became very tedious to read。 Combined with the authors penchant to start every chapter with a couple of pages drawing comparisons to various gods of Greek mythology， it was just a painful reading experience。 。。。more

I would recommend the book to anyone interested in robots，computers and medicine。It also speaks about the future of wealth

Reconozco que yo tengo al menos la mitad de la culpa de tan pobre valoración。 Cuando uno compra un libro de， digamos， prospección científica del futuro， se lo debe leer inmediatamente。 Yo he dejado pasar diez años （el copyright es de 2011） y， claro， el mundo ha avanzado y la ciencia también。 La gran mayoría de la información que proporciona el autor en el libro está superada， desfasada o， al menos en mi caso， es conocida。 Con lo cual， no me ha aportado mucho。Ahora bien， el libro tampoco resulta Reconozco que yo tengo al menos la mitad de la culpa de tan pobre valoración。 Cuando uno compra un libro de， digamos， prospección científica del futuro， se lo debe leer inmediatamente。 Yo he dejado pasar diez años （el copyright es de 2011） y， claro， el mundo ha avanzado y la ciencia también。 La gran mayoría de la información que proporciona el autor en el libro está superada， desfasada o， al menos en mi caso， es conocida。 Con lo cual， no me ha aportado mucho。Ahora bien， el libro tampoco resulta especialmente interesante。 Y el autor no colabora mucho， especialmente cuando aparece en la solapa con el pelo negro。 O bien utilizaba tinte， o bien la foto era antigua， o bien se ha llevado el susto de su vida， porque estamos cansados de verle en documentales con el cabello totalmente cano。 Y， claro， esto no ayuda a que parezca que estás leyendo el último grito de la ciencia。 Por otro lado， las prospecciones no son excesivamente imaginativas。 Se puede ver que algunas de sus visiones de futuro a largo plazo se van a cumplir en un menor periodo de tiempo。 Por ejemplo， su visión de la Inteligencia Artificial me parece miope。En fin， que no puedo recomendar este libro。 。。。more

John Girard ，

DNF - put down after 15 pages。 When a book written in 2011 about what the world will look like in 2100 incorrectly labels as dead half a dozen technology trends that are thriving in 2021， it’s hard to put much faith in the author as prognosticator。

Lives by the year 2100 is a somewhat limited but still fun book speculating about advances in medicine， computers and space research from about 2010 to the year 2100。 A lot is， unavoidably， based on state of the art in these sectors around 2010 so the books contents will quickly be out of date。 As of 2021 it's still a fun read but hurry up if you are to read it as anything else than an anecdote of how predictions of the future always are wrong！ Lives by the year 2100 is a somewhat limited but still fun book speculating about advances in medicine， computers and space research from about 2010 to the year 2100。 A lot is， unavoidably， based on state of the art in these sectors around 2010 so the books contents will quickly be out of date。 As of 2021 it's still a fun read but hurry up if you are to read it as anything else than an anecdote of how predictions of the future always are wrong！ 。。。more

Kind of overlaps with his other books on similar topics， but I really like the way he expresses his imagination， whilst keeping his ideas within the logical bounds of facts on one side and educated guesses on the other。

Трошки застаріла， але все ще дуже захоплива， прекрасно стуктурована， дружня для будь-якого читача книга。

Sebastian Muller Silvestri ，

Simple libro que busca ser una predicción de lo que podría esperar a la sociedad humana del año 2100。 Pese a que otras obras del autor expresan mejor conceptos físicos sobre los temas tratados （y se repiten ideas ya mencionadas en otros libros）， me pareció un libro interesante。 La visión de Kaku sobre el futuro es muy positiva lo cual no es una norma en la actual sociedad en que vivimos， por lo tanto espero que el futuro sea aunque sea un 50% de lo proyectado por el autor。

Liam ，

Not a fan。 This book was made 10 years ago and his predictions even for this first 20 years are pretty far off。 I also felt he would find one possible example to back his hypothesis for the future and leap to a conclusion。

Nayeem ，

Killer visionary with confounding predictions that vacillate between exciting and terrifying。

Joonas Viitanen ，

Korkeat odotukset hyvien arvostelujen， suosituksen sekä hyvän intro-kappaleen ansiosta。 Lukukokemus kuitenkin melko mitäänsanomaton。 Kaku yleistää ja yksinkertaistaa aivan liian paljon omaan makuun ja ilmeisesti helppolukuisuutta varten ripotellut popkulttuuriviittaukset lähinnä ärsyttivät。 Tuntui että suurempi osa sivumäärästä kului hehkutukseen ja vertauskuviin kuin itse teknologioiden esittelyyn。 Myös kirjan ikä näkyi jo 10 vuoden jälkeen enemmän kuin odottaisi teokselta joka yrittää ennustaa Korkeat odotukset hyvien arvostelujen， suosituksen sekä hyvän intro-kappaleen ansiosta。 Lukukokemus kuitenkin melko mitäänsanomaton。 Kaku yleistää ja yksinkertaistaa aivan liian paljon omaan makuun ja ilmeisesti helppolukuisuutta varten ripotellut popkulttuuriviittaukset lähinnä ärsyttivät。 Tuntui että suurempi osa sivumäärästä kului hehkutukseen ja vertauskuviin kuin itse teknologioiden esittelyyn。 Myös kirjan ikä näkyi jo 10 vuoden jälkeen enemmän kuin odottaisi teokselta joka yrittää ennustaa tulevaa jopa 100 vuoden päähän。 。。。more

Really concise fun， grounded read about the future of technology。 Would definitely recommend for a sci-fi fan even without a good base in science， Kaku makes the ideas extremely understandable with minimal knowledge， plus it's basically all theory no math involved at all besides the general idea that some equations represent。 What's more incredible is for all the work Kaku put in， all the research and scientists he talked to， AI research still managed to throw one of his core ideas in that chapt Really concise fun， grounded read about the future of technology。 Would definitely recommend for a sci-fi fan even without a good base in science， Kaku makes the ideas extremely understandable with minimal knowledge， plus it's basically all theory no math involved at all besides the general idea that some equations represent。 What's more incredible is for all the work Kaku put in， all the research and scientists he talked to， AI research still managed to throw one of his core ideas in that chapter for a loop: that AI is bad at pattern recognition。 Since the book's from 2011 some of the information is a little bit dated， for example now AI are getting much better at pattern recognition both visually and textually， threatening some jobs that Kaku said would be safe for the foreseeable future such as lawyers， general practitioners， and maybe even artists。 Regardless， it was incredible how much Kaku got right over the last few 9 years and how much he seemingly will get right over the course of the next decade。 。。。more

Michio kaku， a visionary scientist and his book explains a lot about advancement taking place in the domain of science。 After reading this book I developed interest and started watching his views on technology and lessons on YouTube。 Very inspiring。

I'm one of those people who was blown away by "The Singularity is Near"。 Moore's Law was in full effect and it really did seem we were speeding toward a drastically different future。 Over the years I've learned that the future is coming， just not so quickly as I thought。 "Physics of the Future" is a much more time-realistic look into what may come。 I appreciate how thorough this book is！ I'm one of those people who was blown away by "The Singularity is Near"。 Moore's Law was in full effect and it really did seem we were speeding toward a drastically different future。 Over the years I've learned that the future is coming， just not so quickly as I thought。 "Physics of the Future" is a much more time-realistic look into what may come。 I appreciate how thorough this book is！ 。。。more

Michio Kaku explora en este ensayo/relato su particular visión de la humanidad en el año 2100。 El relato está bien， es bueno， pero estamos hablando de un ensayo。 Si hubiera sido un relato de cifi sin más， le hubiera puesto más puntuación。 Pero al ser un ensayo， le he reducido la misma porque considero que se centra solo en la parte positiva y deja fuera de su análisis un conjunto de elementos muy importantes como es el sistema socioeconómico global。 Muchas de las rutinas tecnológicas que plantea Michio Kaku explora en este ensayo/relato su particular visión de la humanidad en el año 2100。 El relato está bien， es bueno， pero estamos hablando de un ensayo。 Si hubiera sido un relato de cifi sin más， le hubiera puesto más puntuación。 Pero al ser un ensayo， le he reducido la misma porque considero que se centra solo en la parte positiva y deja fuera de su análisis un conjunto de elementos muy importantes como es el sistema socioeconómico global。 Muchas de las rutinas tecnológicas que plantea Kaku están empezando a ser una pequeña realidad o se están investigando ahora mismo。 Por un lado es muy interesante el retrato que plantea para dicho año， pero creo que peca de optimista。 En ningún momento considero que esa tecnología de la que habla Kaku en este relato no vaya a estar disponible en el año 2100 （creo firmemente que lo estará）， de hecho creo que puede que lo esté incluso antes。 El problema es que considero que no es realista con la evolución económica-social de la sociedad actual y la evolución histórica de la especie humana。 Está claro que el acceso a este mundo "ideal" será solo para un grupo muy concreto de personas， con un estatus económico muy alto。 El resto de la población mundial no tendrá acceso alguno a este futuro que puede ser una realidad dentro de unos setenta años。 Cuando leo ensayos de este tipo， busco algo más que un futuro idealizado。 Busco que me planteen soluciones a los desafíos globales。 ¿La humanidad podrá tener acceso universal y gratuito a este tipo de tecnología？ Si es así， ¿cómo？ ¿El capitalismo habrá fracasado y habrá surgido otra alternativa？ ¿Desaparecerá el hambre？ ¿La tecnología servirá para regular el cambio climático y empezar a revertirlo？ ¿Desaparecerá la pobreza？ Esto es una muestra del tipo de respuestas que busco en ensayos de este tipo。La tecnología no deja de ser una herramienta y， como tal， depende del uso que le demos para mejorar o empeorar la sociedad。 Los próximos setenta años van a ser un desafío global， no solo en términos económicos， ambientales y estratégicos， sino como sociedad。 Y la tecnología va a jugar un papel determinante en estos ámbitos。 Por tanto， cuando planeamos un escenario futurista hay que tener en cuenta no solo a un individuo que pertenece a un grupo social de alto estatus económico， sino a todas las clases sociales。 Y el relato de Michio Kaku solo explora la realidad futura de un grupo elegido de personas。 Por lo que si estás buscando un ensayo más profundo， este relato no te lo recomiendo。 Si lo que quieres es obtener inspiración entonces sí es tu relato。 。。。more

Finally a book about future from a person who actually understands current scientific progress。

Alexandra Maria ，

Prima forta explicata a fost gravitatia。 Isaac Newton ne-a dat mecanica， disciplina cu ajutorul careia am inteles ca obiectele se misca sub actiunea fortelor si nicdecum influentate de spirite mistice si metafizica。A doua forta inteleasa a fost forta electromagnetica， cea care ne lumineaza orasele si ne alimeneteaza cu energie aparatele electrocasnice。A treia si a patra forta intelese au fost cele doua forte nucleare: fortele slaba si tare。Astazi detinem o intelegere destul de corecta a acestor Prima forta explicata a fost gravitatia。 Isaac Newton ne-a dat mecanica， disciplina cu ajutorul careia am inteles ca obiectele se misca sub actiunea fortelor si nicdecum influentate de spirite mistice si metafizica。A doua forta inteleasa a fost forta electromagnetica， cea care ne lumineaza orasele si ne alimeneteaza cu energie aparatele electrocasnice。A treia si a patra forta intelese au fost cele doua forte nucleare: fortele slaba si tare。Astazi detinem o intelegere destul de corecta a acestor patru forte。 Prima forta， gravitatia， este acum descrisa prin intermediul teoriei relativitatii generalizate a lui Einstein。 Iar celelalte trei forte sunt redate cu ajutorul teoriei cuantice， care ne permite sa descifram tainele lumii subatomice。 （35-36）（。。。） stramosii nostri doreau mereu sa vada cu ochii lor， nu sa se bazeze pe zvonuri。 Ca sa supravietuim in padure， era esntial sa credem in dovezi stiintifice si nu in lucruri auzite。 （44）（。。。） suntem descendenti ai unor animale de prada care vanau。 In consecinta， ne place sa-i urmarim pe altii si chiar sa stam ore in sir in fata televizorului， ca sa privim la nesfarsit la ispravile altor oameni， dar imediat devenim agitati cand simtim ca suntem supravegheati。 De fapt， oamenii de stiinta au calculat ca devenim agitati daca un strain se uita fix la noi cam patru secunde。 Daca suntem priviti fix， dupa circa zece secunde， ne infuriem si devenim ostili。 （45）（。。。） exista o competitie continua intre High Tech si High Touch， cu alte cuvinte intre a sta in fotoliul din fata televizorului si a intinde mana pentru a atinge lucrurile din jur。 （45）Asa functioneaza deci "principiul omului cavernelor": am prefera sa le avem pe amandoua， dar， daca trebuie sa alegem， alegem High Touch， la fel ca stramosii nostrii din pesteri。 （46）Pana la sfarsitul acestui secol vom controla computerele direct cu forta mintii。 （。。。）Revolutia va avea loc in doua etape。 Mai intai， mintea trebuie sa fie capabila sa controleze obiectele din jur。 Apoi， un computer trebuie sa descifreze dorintele persoanei in cauza pentru a i le putea indeplini。 （106）（。。。） unul din scopurile principale ale emotiilor este sa ne dea o scara de valori， in asa fel incat sa putem decide ce este important， ce este scump， ce e frumos si ce e pretios。 Fara emotii， totul capata aceeasi valoare， iar noi ramanem paralizati de o multime de decizii， toate avand acceasi greutate。 Astfel ca oamenii de stiinta incep acum sa inteleaga ca emotiile， departe de a reprezenta un lux， sunt esentiale pentru inteligenta。 （163）Daca cercetam caracteristicile anatomice majore ale creierului， observam ca pot fi grupate in trei categorii mari。Avem， mai intai， creierul reptilian， situat aproape de baza craniului， care constituie partea cea mai mare a creierului reptilelor。 Functii vitale primitive cum ar fi echlibrul， agresivitatea， teritorialitatea， cautarea hranei etc。 sunt controlate de aceasta parte a creierului。La nivelul urmator se afla creierul de maimuta， sau sistemul limbic， localizat in centrul creierului uman， alcatuite din componente precum amigdala， care este implicata in procesarea emotiilor。 Animalele care traiesc in grupuri au un sistem limbic foarte bine dezvoltat。 Animalele sociale care vaneaza in grupuri trebuie sa dedice un procentaj serios din puterea creierului intelegerii regulilor haitei。Avem， in cele din urma， partea frontala si invelisul exterior al creierului， cortexul cerebral， stratul care defineste umanitatea si guverneaza gandirea rationala。 In vreme ce alte animale sunt dominate de instinct si genetica， oamenii folosesc cortexul cerebral ca sa judece rational lucrurile。 （164-165）（。。。） constiinta consta din cel putin trei componente fndamentale:1。 sesizarea si recunoasterea mediului inconjurator;2。 constiinta de sine;3。 planificarea viitorului prin stabilirea de teluri si planuri， cu alte cuvinte simularea viitorului si punerea la punct a strategiei。 （183）（。。。） capacitatea de a intarzia recompensa。 Conform unor studii pe termen lung desfasurate de Walter Mischel de la Universitatea din Columbia， alaturi de multi altii， copiii care au fost in stare sa se abtina de la o recompensa imediata （de exemplu， sa manance o bomboana care le-a fost oferita） si sa se pastreze pentru recompense mai mari promise pe termen lung （sa primeasca doua bomboane in loc de una） au obtinut cu regularitate scoruri mai mari in aproape toate evaluarile privind succesul in viitor， la testele de aptitudini scolare， in viata， dragoste si cariera。Dar capacitatea de a amana gratificatia are legatura si cu un nivel suprior al constientizarii si a constiintei。 Acei copii au fost in stare sa simuleze viitorul si sa-si dea seama ca recompensele din viitor erau mai mari。 Prin urmare， ca sa putem sesiza consecintele viitoare ale actiunilor noastre， este nevoie de un nivel suprior al constientizarii。 （187）Ingineria tisulara dezvolta noi organe extragand mai intai cateva celule din corpul pacientului。 （234）Celulele stem sunt "mama tuturor celuleor" si au capacitatea de a se transforma in orice tip de celula a corpului。 （236）Exista doua tipuri de terapie genica: pe linii celulare somatice si pe linii celulare germinative。 Tearia genica de tip somatic presupune repararea genelor ditruse ale unui singur individ。 Valoarea ei terapeutica dispare odata cu moartea persoanei in cauza。 Mai contoversata este terapia genica pe linii celulare germinative （spermatozoizi si ovule）， in care unt reparate genele din celulele sexuale， astfel incat gena reparata poate fi transmisa generatiei urmatoare， aproape pentru totdeauna。 （245）O tinta pentru terapia genica este chiar cancerul。 Aproape 50% din toate cancerele obisnuite sunt legate de o gena deteriorata， p53。 Gena p53 este lunga si complexa， ceea ce sporeste probabilitatea ca factorii de mediu si cei chimici sa o deterioreze。 （247）Celulele provenite de la un esantion de cancer pulmonar au un numar uluitor de mutatii individuale: 23000， in vreme ce celulele canceroase de melanom au 33000 de mutatii。 Asta inseamna ca un fumator obisnuit produce o mutatie la fiecare cinsprezece tigari pe care le fumeaza。 （Cancerul pulmonar ucide anualun milion de oameni pe tot globul， cauza principala fiin fumatul。） （250）Studiile facute pe gemeni identici care au fost separati la nastere demonstreaza ca genetica influenteaza o larga varietate de trasaturi comportamentale。 Aceste studii arata ca aproximativ 50% din comportamentul unui geaman este influentat de gene， iar celelalte 50%， de mediul inconjurator。 （257）Depresia si fericirea s-ar putea sa aiba si ele radacini genetice。 Se stie de multa vreme ca exista oameni care raman fericiti chiar si daca au suferit accidente tragice。 Ei vad mereu partea pozitiva a lucrurilor， chiar si in fata unor obstacole care ar putea sa-i deprime pe altii。 In acelasi timp， persoanele in cauza tind sa fie mai sanatoase decat media。 （258）Oamenii de stiinta sunt de parere acum ca trebuie sa existe un echilibru intre uitare si memorare。 Daca uiti prea multe， s-ar putea sa poti uita suferinta provocata de greselile din trecut， dar in acelasi timp uiti si fapte， si deprinderi importante。 In schimb， daca memorezi prea multe， e posibil sa iti amintesti detalii importante， dar s-ar putea ca amintirea fiecarei suferinte sau esec sa te paralizeze。 Numai un echilibru intre cele doua tendinte ar putea sa genereze o intelegere optima。 （260）Savantii stiu acum ce este imbatranirea， respectiv acumularea de erori la nivl genetic si celular。 Aceste erori se pot aduna in diferte moduri。 De exemplu， metabolismul creeaza radicali liberi si oxidare， care deterioreaza delicata masinarie moleculara a celulelor noastre， facandu-le sa imbatraneasca; erorile se pot acumula si sub forma de reziduuri moleculare nesanatoase， care se aduna in intriorul si in exteriorul celulelor。 （265）S-au propus zeci de teorii care sa explice recenta crestere a incidentei cancerului de san， teorii care raman controversate。 Una dintre ele sustine ca fenomenul ar fi legat de numarul total de cicluri menstruale pe care le are o femeie。 De-a lungul istoriei， dupa pubertate， femeile ramaneau gravide mai mult sau mai outin constant pana ajungeau la menopauza， pentru a muri la scurt timp dupa aceea。 Aceasta inseamna ca aveau mai putine cicluri menstruale， nasc， in medie， doar 1，5 copii，traiesc mult dupa menopauza si， prin urmare， sunt expuse mai mult la actiunea estrogenului， ceea ce duce la o posibila incidenta crescuta acestei forme de cancer。 （267）Aceasta teorie （restrictia calorica - adica scaderea cu 30% sau mai mult a numarului de calorii pe care le ingeram） creste durata vietii cu aproape o treime。 Animalele supuse acestui regim cu numar redus de calorii au mai putine tumori， mai putin boli cardiace， o incidenta mai scazuta a diabetului si mai putine boli legate de imbatranire。 De fapt， restrictia calorica este singurul mecanism cunoscut garantat sa creasca durata de viata， testat in repetate randuri， pe aproape tot regnul animal， si care functioneaza de fiecare data。 （270）（。。。） Daca se stabileste o corespondenta intre metabolism si acumularea erorilor， atunci acest lucru vine in concordanta cu ideea ca， daca ai un metabolism mai lent， traiesti mai mult。 （276）In mod normal celulele tumorale circulante-care se afla in circultia sangvina （CTC）-sunt prezente intr-o proportie mai mica de una la un milion de celule aflate in sange， insa aceste CTC pot in cele din urma sa ne ucida daca prolifreaza。 （337）Celule epiteliale （EpCAM）， care apar la numeroase tipuri de celule canceroase， dar nu exista in celulele normale。 EpCAM este vital pentru celulele canceroase， deoarece prin intemediul lor comunica intre ele in formarea unei tumori。 （338）（。。。） incalzirea globala este provocata de activitatile omului si mai ales de producerea de dioxid de carbon prin arderea petrolului si carbunelui。 Dar， in timp ce incalzeste pamantul， produce radiatie infrarosie care nu mai revine la fel de usor in spatiu prin stratul de dioxiod de carbon。 Energia solara nu poate sa se intoarca in spatiu si este prinsa in capcana。 （406）Productia de dioxid de carbon este direct proportionala cu activitatea economica si， prin urmare， cu bogatia。 （414）Gravitatia， asa cum a aratat Newton， se manifesta strict atractiv。 Prin urmare， in cazul unei stele， gravitatia comprima hidrogenul gazos intr-o sfera uniforma。 （Acesta este moivul pentru care stelele si planetele sunt sferice si nu cubice sau triunghiulare。） （431）Deoarece Luna este lipsita de de atmosfera， este lovita frecvent de roci din spatiu。（475）Antmateria este opusul materiei， avand sarcini opuse; electronul， de exemplu， （pozitronul） are sarcina pozitiva。 De asemenea， este anihilata la contactul cu materia obisnuita。 O lingurita de antimaterie contine， de fapt， suficienta energie pentru a distruge intreaga zona metropolitata a orasului New York。 （508）Mahatma Gandhi a scris candva:Radacininile violentei:Bogatia fara munca，Placerea fara constiinta，Cunoasterea fara caracter，Comertul fara moralitate，Stiinta fara umanitate，Veneratia fara sacrificiu，Politica fara princii。 （647） 。。。more

I know that some people criticize Michio Kaku for being overly optimistic in this book， but I honestly really enjoyed the change of pace。 I feel like all I ever hear when people talk about the future is doom， doom， doom。 Economic collapse， climate change， the overtaking of artificial intelligence; nothing is ever encouraging and as someone who is in her early twenties， this constant doom is depressing and discouraging。 It is nice to hear that future technology can do real good in our society。 I I know that some people criticize Michio Kaku for being overly optimistic in this book， but I honestly really enjoyed the change of pace。 I feel like all I ever hear when people talk about the future is doom， doom， doom。 Economic collapse， climate change， the overtaking of artificial intelligence; nothing is ever encouraging and as someone who is in her early twenties， this constant doom is depressing and discouraging。 It is nice to hear that future technology can do real good in our society。 I appreciated the fact that Kaku spoke to experts in various fields， as well as used his own expertise in physics， to make his predictions。 As Kaku pointed out in the book， many futurists lack an understanding in physics， which results in predictions that may sound intriguing， but are physically impossible。 Many futurists also underestimate the effect that our biology has on human decision-making when making predictions， which Kaku does not。 Several futurists from our past assumed that with the advent of television and the internet， human beings would become isolated and completely reliant on these technologies。 No one would travel， no one would shop， no one would visit in person。 However， the biological reality is that we humans want to see things for ourselves， which is what is making Covid-19 restrictions so hard on so many people this year。 It is one thing to visit Paris through Google Earth and quite another to see the Eiffel Tower face-to-face。Now， this book was written in 2011。 Kaku has made many predictions about this decade and I am curious to see how things play out throughout the next few years。 I did a quick Google search and many of the projects based on space exploration that were predicted to be underway by now have been postponed。 Kaku also predicted widespread use of internet connected contact lenses throughout the 2020s。 I could be wrong and this technology could explode rapidly in the next few years， but I am a little bit skeptical that contact lenses like the ones described will be in wide use any time soon。 The fact that Covid-19 has wreaked havoc on this world makes me wonder how many of Kaku's predictions may become delayed。 As he highlighted throughout much of the discussion surrounding space exploration， money determines whether programs commence or are cut and I can unfortunately only see our world economies depreciating。 Despite all of this， I found this book to be intriguing and enjoyed hearing Kaku's predictions， regardless if they come to fruition or not。 I plan to keep this book and reflect back on it from time to time as I age。 If 2100 rolls around， Goodreads still exists， I'm still alive， and I discover that Kaku's predictions were vehemently incorrect， then 103-year-old me will come back and change my rating。 Until then， this book remains fun and intriguing and a solid four stars。 。。。more

A book with a set of predictions for the future。 One thing that separates this from other future predictions is that it is written by a theoretical physicist。 It adds a scientific touch to all the predictions。It covers the most common themes we expect like colonizing other planets， re-inventing energy， robotification， etc。 The Author predicts that common sense， art， and imagination will be highly valuable skills of the future as any other tasks are likely to be done better by machines。
