"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.

Michio Kaku is a physics professor at the City University of New York and the creator of string field theory. He is the author of several critically renowned science books, including Hyperspace, Beyond Einstein, and Physics of the Impossible, which served as the foundation for his Science Channel TV show, Sci Fi Science: Physics of the Impossible. He also hosts two radio shows, Explorations and Science Fantastic.
