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.
