Michio Kaku, the New York Times bestselling author of Physics of the Impossible and Physics of the Future tackles the most fascinating and complex object in the known universe: the human brain. The Future of the Mind brings a topic that once belonged solely to the province of science fiction into a startling new reality. This scientific tour de force unveils the astonishing research being done in top laboratories around the world—all based on the latest advancements in neuroscience and physics—including recent experiments in telepathy, mind control, avatars, telekinesis, and recording memories and dreams. The Future of the Mind is an extraordinary, mind-boggling exploration of the frontiers of neuroscience. Dr. Kaku looks toward the day when we may achieve the ability to upload the human brain to a computer, neuron for neuron; project thoughts and emotions around the world on a brain-net; take a “smart pill” to enhance cognition; send our consciousness across the universe; and push the very limits of immortality.

In the not too distant future, the earth had evolved into a brave new world filled with equality, unity and hope for a better mankind. Humans, thanks to the genetic splicers, had just begun to remember the limitless powers of the human mind. But new technologies were also combined with human DNA and they have become sentient. Biologically based robots called Biodroids have discovered emotions, and declared an end to the age of man. They began to rise up, threatening the brave new world that had been so carefully constructed. Our story begins when this great change touches the life of Lazer, a teenage boy living through this great shift. Finding it hard enough to get through puberty, discover first love and stay out of trouble, his world was altered by a series of tragedies that shocked him into adulthood. He and his best friends Cashton and Kyla are jolted into a new reality and life as they knew it on Atlantia was about to be forever changed. There is one truth Lazer has yet to figure out, destiny has called and he must learn he is the hero this changing world needs. His best friends Cashton and Kyla (a secret love denied by circumstance), stand with Lazer at the beginning of a revolution to save humanity. They become unwilling witnesses to a great evolution and together they will learn the price that must be paid. The Atlantian VQ is a classic adventure that confronts the loss of innocence and the tender heartbeats of first love, a future held in hostage while the whole of human existence hangs in the balance. Come with me into the world of the new Vision Quest's THE ATLANTIAN VQ because... this is only the beginning.

[An] alternately fascinating and frightening book.” —San Francisco Chronicle 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.
