Published by Penguin Press, 2017, illustrated, condition: as new.

From a top scientist and the creator of the hugely popular web comic Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, an illustrated investigation into future technologies

What will the world of tomorrow be like? How does progress happen? And why do we not have a lunar colony already?

In this book, Zach and Kelly Weinersmith give us a snapshot of the transformative technologies that are coming next - from robot swarms to nuclear fusion powered-toasters - and explain how they will change our world in astonishing ways. By weaving together their own research, interviews with pioneering scientists and Zach's trademark comics, the Weinersmiths investigate why these innovations are needed, how they would work, and what is standing in their way.

Why stop at seven margaritas when you can just print a new liver?

Predictions from futurists are not all equal or equally entertaining. Kelly Weinersmith and Zach Weinersmith's Soonish: Ten Emerging Technologies That'll Improve and/or Ruin Everything was interesting, compelling and (replete with references to D&D, Star Trek, Star Wars and the robot uprising of 2027) was relatable in a geeky way. Weinersmith looks at how emerging technologies will impact our everyday reality and change our perception of our place in the universe. Fusion energy, the exploration and colonization of the solar system, programmable matter, augmented reality, brain-computer interfaces, precision medicine and origami robots are all covered. Some of what the Weinersmiths wrote about was surprising, but regardless of how implausible any given prediction might be, experts who are working out these innovations were interviewed and the status of their work assessed. Easy to follow and read!
