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 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.
