Product Description
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.

This review is from: Physics of the Future: How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100 (Hardcover)
Even if you don't believe in future forecasting it's an interesting and fascinating read anyway. It is well worth buying.

Great research from Dr. Kaku,
This review is from: Physics of the Future: How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100 (Hardcover)
Physics of the Future gives the reader a glimpse of what mankind will achieve if we're able to organize our race and attain Type I civilization status in a sustainable manner. This is a must read for those who hope to provide a brighter future for following generations. Michio points out that those alive today will determine the course of humanity. We are the most important generation of humans on Earth. But don't take my word for it, read the book and decide for yourself.

superb,

This review is from: Physics of the Future: How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100 (Hardcover)
Objective, Comphrensive, Unbiased. By his own credentials his expertise he makes this book readable for the lay person. Although future predictions are biased by the lens of the present, this book allows us an educated guess at the future. For older people like me it is interesting to read what the future may bring.I bought copies for my 3 sons and others as well as recomending it others. I would love to see an epilogue update article now for lovers of the book, since books are usually a couple of years behind by release time.
