Michio Kaku's Physics of the Future: The Inventions that will
Transform our Lives is a hypothetical journey through the next 100
years of scientific innovation, as told by the scientists who are
making it happen. We all wish we could predict the future, but most
of us don't know enough about the science that makes it possible.
That's why Michio Kaku decided to talk to the people who really
know - the visionaries who are already inventing the future in
their labs. Based on interviews with over three hundred of the
world's top scientists, Kaku gives us an insider's perspective on
the revolutionary advances that mean we'll soon be able to take an
elevator into space, access the internet via our contact lenses,
scan our DNA for signs of disease and even change the shape of
objects - and all still within the laws of known physics. This
isn't just the shape of things to come - as Kaku shows, it's
already happening. 'Summons up the sheer wonder of science' Daily
Telegraph 'A whirlwind tour of technological possibilities' New
Scientist 'One of the gurus of modern physics' Financial Times 'An
entertaining account of envelope-pushing research' Economist Michio
Kaku is a leading theoretical physicist and one of the founders of
string theory, widely regarded as the strongest candidate for the
'theory of everything'. He is also one of the most gifted
popularizers ofscience of his generation. His books published by
Penguin include Parallel Worlds, The Physics of the Future and The
Physics of the Impossible. He holds the Henry Semat Professorship
in Theoretical Physics at the City University of New York, where he
has taught for over twenty-five years.
