The Future of Humanity - Michio Kaku

A SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR The #1 bestselling author of The Future of the Mind brings us a stunning new vision of our future in space Human civilization is on the verge of spreading beyond Earth. More than a possibility it is becoming a necessity: whether our hand is forced by climate change and resource depletion or whether future catastrophes compel us to abandon Earth one day we will make our homes among the stars. World-renowned physicist and futurist Michio Kaku explores in rich accessible detail how humanity might gradually develop a sustainable civilization in outer space. With his trademark storytelling verve Kaku shows us how science fiction is becoming reality: mind-boggling developments in robotics nanotechnology and biotechnology could enable us to build habitable cities on Mars; nearby stars might be reached by microscopic spaceships sailing through space on laser beams; and technology might one day allow us to transcend our physical bodies entirely. With irrepressible enthusiasm and wonder Dr. Kaku takes readers on a fascinating journey to a future in which humanity could finally fulfil its long-awaited destiny among the stars - and perhaps even achieve immortality.
