NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The renowned theoretical physicist and national bestselling author of The God Equation details the developments in computer technology, artificial intelligence, medicine, space travel, and more, that are poised to happen over the next century. “Mind-bending…. [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.

From the man the Wall Street Journal describes as a 'global change guru', more than one hundred of the trends that touch every aspect of our lives. This new and updated edition looks even farther into the future, predicting trends past the first decades of the 22nd century. Patrick Dixon looks at how the future will be Fast, Urban, Tribal, Universal, Radical and Ethical - a future of boom and bust and great economic change as the emerging markets grow up; a future of great advances in medicine and also greater threats from viral epidemics; a future of political shocks and greater conflicts; a future in which people will strive for more privacy and businesses will change the way they relate to their staff and their customers; a future in which there will be driverless cars and solar power generated in the desert will power cities thousands of miles away. In this updated edition, Dixon shows how recent developments confirm his predictive scheme: Artificial intelligence and robotics - profound power and influence over our future world Beyond Brexit - the longer term future of the EU and UK The long-term impact of the MeToo movement The future of Truth - Fake News, propaganda and impact on democracy Presidential leadership - rise of powerful figureheads across the world, and potential future conflicts And in an entirely new chapter, Dixon extends his predictive horizon to see how the future will look one hundred years from now.

A Glimpse of the Future: Earth in the Year 2100, by Jonathan Goldsmith In the year 2100, Kansas City lies in ruins, a haunting consequence of the devastating nuclear Third World War that ravaged the Earth. Amidst the post-apocalyptic wasteland, two young warriors, Anya and Kai, emerge from the shadows of an underground training facility. Trained in the deadly arts of combat, archery, and swordmanship, they step into a world where the law of the jungle reigns supreme. As they navigate this perilous new reality, they encounter Wren, an enigmatic visitor from another planet. Initially at odds, the trio soon forms an unbreakable bond, united by a common enemy: the Order, a sinister organization led by the ruthless Kane. The Order seeks a powerful artifact hidden deep within an ancient underground library, an artifact capable of bending the will of humanity to their control. Anya, Kai, and Wren must embark on a treacherous journey to find this artifact before the Order can seize it. Their mission grows more urgent as they learn of a new threat: the Marsiliptians, a Martian race desperate to colonize Earth and exploit its dwindling resources. Together, they must confront dark forces and malevolent energies guarding the artifact, risking everything to protect their city and, ultimately, the future of humanity. "A Glimpse of the Future" is a gripping tale of survival, friendship, and the indomitable human spirit in the face of overwhelming odds. Join Anya, Kai, and Wren as they fight to reclaim their world from the clutches of tyranny and forge a new destiny for all. GRAB YOUR COPY TODAY!
