It is the third book, written by Michio Kaku that I've read. Michio Kaku become for me the favorite science writer, reading previous two books " The future of Mind" and " Hyperspace"
The future of Humanity follow the same path almost , but goes more in deep regarding space travel.
Movies like: Star Trek, Star Wars and Space Odyssey are not fiction anymore. The technology of space travel existed for many years but was limited only to Orbit of Earth. Today mankind thanks to peoples like: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson want more, to go beyond Earth Orbit.
To go to Mars and to colonize it, is not a fiction. Today Space X the company founded by Elon Musk aims to go to Mars and colonized it by 2025. Richard Branson with his company Virgin Galactic wants to develop space travel for touristic purpose to be more affordable to people.
What actually those people want ? According to scientific research the Earth has already sustained five major extinction in which up to 90 % of all life forms vanished from Earth. The concept of Multiplanet Species that lives among the stars is not something fiction.
The Future of Humanity book include elements of the fourth industrial revolution and fifth industrial revolution.
The fourth Industrial Revolution (Present)
- Artificial Intelligence
- Nanotechnology
- Biotechnology
- Space travel
The fifth Industrial Revolution
- Nanoships
- Laser Sails
- Ramjet fusion machines
- Animatter engines
I'm not go deep in to them is to much information , I firmly recommend this book for those who want to get more insights about science and what kind of technologies we might see in the future.
