### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Fabulous Look at the Future
*by B***K on March 20, 2011*

Physics of the Future by Michio Kaku"Physics of the Future" is a fabulous, thought-provoking, engaging and accessible book on the physics of the future. What sets this book apart, is Dr. Kaku's prodigious knowledge and his innate ability to convey complex topics in an engaging conversational manner. This fantastic 416-page book is composed of the following nine chapters: 1. Future of the Computer: Mind over Matter, 2. Future of AI: Rise of the Machines, 3. Future of Medicine: Perfection and Beyond, 4. Nanotechnology: Everything from Nothing?, 5. Future of Energy: Energy from the Stars, 6. Future of Space Travel: To the Stars, 7. Future of Wealth, 8. Future of Humanity: Planetary Civilization, and 9. A Day in the Life in 2100.Positives:1. Engaging scientific writing for the masses. Dr. Kaku gets it and he knows how to relay his knowledge in a lucid and entertaining manner.2. Great format. Each chapter begins with a couple of chapter appropriate quotes, an appetizer of an introduction (with a little mythology analogy for good measure) and then broken out by three subchapters: Near Future (Present to 2030), Midcentury (2030 to 2070), and Far Future (2070 to 2100).3. Great use of popular culture to make his points easy to convey. The use of popular Sci-Fi movies to explain complex concepts is brilliant.4. A fantastic idea of a book and I couldn't be happier that Dr. Kaku is the mastermind behind it. Great wisdom throughout.5. Great science for all to enjoy. The future looks fascinating.6. Finally, a fun, profound yet accessible book about physics of the future.7. This book is like the behind the scenes look at the science behind the best Sci-Fi movies ever. Excellent!8. The best way to predict the future is to consult the greatest minds, the subject matter experts and Dr. Kaku does exactly that.9. How the four fundamental forces changed human history.10. The future of Moore's law.11. Our minds will control computers...just make sure husbands get this technology before the wives do.12. Will robots inherit the earth? Only if they're fembots but I digress.13. Fascinating look at why brains are superior to computers. I think.14. Optogenetics...optowhat? Read and find out. I see.15. Punctuated equilibrium best describes the way in which progress is made.16. The fascinating future of medicine. You shall be healed.17. We must clone Dr. Kaku.18. Designer children, too late for me...19. I want to be a geneticist...20. "The quantum theory has one thing going for it: it is correct." Love that quote.21. Nanotechnology...no small feat.22. Energy saving ideas. Like you've never seen before. Powerful stuff.23. Global warming...the topic just keeps heating up. Great explanation.24. Space technology is far out!25. The number 25,000 has a totally new significance to me. You can count on it.26. New propulsion systems considered. It's not like it's rocket science...oh wait it is.27. Science and technology are the engines of prosperity. NEMA.28. The rise of intellectual capitalism. My two cents.29. The importance of using science for the good of our planet.30. Dr. Kaku does a wonderful job of tying everything together with an amusing story.31. Great list of notes and a recommended reading list that has my attention.32. Fascinating book from cover to cover.Negatives:1. Links didn't work.2. Some folks, particular those in the science field, may object to the book being "dumbed" down. I have no complaints since the book was meant for the masses.3. Having to wait for Mr. Kaku's next book.In summary, this book is a real treat. I absolutely loved it. Great science, interesting facts, and a fascinating look at the future. Dr. Kaku is such an engaging, brilliant man; he tackles an ambitious project like this and succeeds on all accounts. This is the reason why I love science and this is the reason I enjoy reading books. I can't recommend this book enough. A well deserved 5-star book. Bravo!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inspiring
*by M***N on June 26, 2011*

"Physics of the Future" by Michio Kaku is an outstanding account of how science will define human life for the remainder of the 21st century. Like a modern day Jules Verne, Dr. Kaku presents a beautiful vision of the future where humanity uses its technical mastery to achieve material security and happiness. Written with the insights gained from a lifetime working and teaching in the physical sciences, Dr. Kaku's imaginative, thought-provoking and hopeful book should appeal to a wide audience.Dr. Kaku is the right man for the job. Dr. Kaku, who is renowned for his own scientific research, hosts a popular science television show where he has interacted with hundreds of the world's top scientists in academia, private industry and government. Traveling around the world to speak with leading researchers, there doesn't seem to be a big science program he doesn't know about. Perhaps more importantly, Dr. Kaku has the maturity to understand that science serves as a tool of a human desire that is rooted in thousands of years of evolution (which he affectionately terms the 'Caveman Principle' of human behavior).Dr. Kaku specifically looks at the future of computing, artificial intelligence, medicine, nanotechnology, energy, and space travel. He also speculates about how humanity might distribute wealth and organize civilization. In each chapter, Dr. Kaku draws on his deep knowledge and experiences to report on what is most likely to happen in each of these areas in the near future (through 2030), midcentury (2030 to 2070), and far future (2070 to 2100). Dr. Kaku also has a knack for creatively framing these discussions around Greek mythology and other classic works to describe how humanity's fondest poetic dreams of yesterday might soon become tomorrow's reality. The strength of Dr. Kaku's writing is such that no matter how much one might quibble about Dr. Kaku's opinions about specific science topics within this book - for example, whether or not he agrees that 'singularity' will come to fruition in quite the same way as envisioned by Ray Kurzweil - one is hard pressed to imagine many authors today who could write such an authoritative and insightful book about the future as this.Of course, one can easily take a jaundiced view of the future but I think we have to take the long view. After all, fascism, communism and two World Wars did not prevent Verne's vision of 1960s Paris from more or less coming true. In the end, we should momentarily suspend our disbelief and give Dr. Kaku the benefit of the doubt; and of course, hope that our better angels will prevail.I highly recommend this inspiring book to everyone.
