The New York Times bestselling author of Physics of the Impossible gives us a stunning and provocative vision of the future.
Based on interviews with over three hundred of the world’s top scientists, who are already inventing the future in their labs, Kaku—in a lucid and engaging fashion—presents the revolutionary developments in medicine, computers, quantum physics, and space travel that will forever change our way of life and alter the course of civilization itself.
His astonishing revelations include:
• The Internet will be in your contact lens. It will recognize people’s faces, display their biographies, and even translate their words into subtitles.
• You will control computers and appliances via tiny sensors that pick up your brain scans. You will be able to rearrange the shape of objects.
• Sensors in your clothing, bathroom, and appliances will monitor your vitals, and nanobots will scan your DNA and cells for signs of danger, allowing life expectancy to increase dramatically.
• Radically new spaceships, using laser propulsion, may replace the expensive chemical rockets of today. You may be able to take an elevator hundreds of miles into space by simply pushing the “up” button.
Like Physics of the Impossible and Visions before it, Physics of the Future is an exhilarating, wondrous ride through the next one hundred years of breathtaking scientific revolution.
作为一名爱书人,一直保持着警觉,那就是:出版时间越近的书越不靠谱。所以我一般不买最近几年出的书。 但是,由于写作的需要,也是出于对作者的信任,犹豫再三还是将重庆出版社出版的,加来道雄的《物理学的未来》和《平行宇宙》买了回来,结果果然不出所料。 因...
评分Michio Kaku的科普著作Physics of the Future: How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100 被豆瓣简单地略去副标题 "2100年科学如何塑性人类命运和日常生活". 这本来是介绍物理学在未来科技中的应用, 略去副标题以后成了"物理学的未来". 物理...

评分首先,本书所用的中文名的准确性是值得商榷的,本书中的内容讲的是未来的若干领域的技术发展趋势并不是在讲物理学的未来。按照该书的英文名称(physics of the future)直接翻译也不能翻译成物理学的未来,但如何翻译这里的physics确实是有些困难。 书的装订太差,一不小心装订...

几本书貌似内容相近。。
评分大胆不失严谨.
评分great vision for the next century& new classification of civilizations from a physicist's view (&interviews w/ 300 other-field scientists)
评分开脑洞的作品。虽然对未来的计算机、人工智能充满了乐观,但是对于能源和太空旅行的预测依然保守。作者对轻核聚变技术“狼来了”式的描述似乎表示他对核聚变技术不太看好,而基于核聚变的宇宙飞船更只能是概念上的游戏。有趣的是,《未来简史》对于未来职业的预测,已经在本书中的在Future of Wealth中有所描述(是否《未来简史》参考了本书??)在各种高歌凯进中,作者又透露出丝丝担忧:当年的英国和今天的美国年轻人远离科学研究而蜂拥去金融银行业,是否预示着英美的没落呢?
