Physics of the Future

'A whirlwind tour of technological possibility' – New Scientist

Welcome to the future, where you'll be able to take an elevator hundreds of miles into space; the internet will be in your contact lens; nanobots will scan your DNA for signs of disease; and you'll be able to control computers with your brain – and even rearrange the physical world itself.

It may sound like science fiction but, as physics guru Michio Kaku shows, this is the shape of things to come. Based on interviews with over three hundred of the world's top scientists who are already inventing this future in their labs, Physics of the Future is a time-travelling tour through the revolutionary advances in medicine, computers, quantum physics, and space travel that will forever change our way of life – and alter the course of civilisation itself.

Internationally acclaimed physicist Dr Michio Kaku holds the Henry Semat Chair in Theoretical Physics at the City University of New York. He is also an international bestselling author, with his books including Hyperspace and Parallel Worlds, and a distinguished writer, having featured in Time, the Wall Street Journal, the Sunday Times, and the New Scientist to name but a few. Dr Kaku also hosts his own radio show, "Science Fantastic," and recently presented the BBC's popular series "Time".
