Description

The #1 bestselling writer of The Future of the Mind traverses the frontiers of astrophysics, artificial intelligence, and technology to offer a stunning vision of man’s future in space, from settling Mars to traveling to distant galaxies.

Formerly the domain of fiction, moving human civilization to the stars is increasingly becoming a scientific possibility–and a necessity. Whether in the near future as a result of climate change and the depletion of finite resources, or in the distant future as a result of catastrophic cosmological events, we must face the reality that humans will someday want to leave planet Earth to live on as a species. World-renowned physicist and futurist Michio Kaku explores in rich, intimate detail the process by which humanity may gradually move away from the planet and develop a sustainable civilization in outer space. He reveals how state-of-the-art developments in robotics, nanotechnology, and biotechnology may allow us to terraform and build habitable cities on Mars. He then takes us beyond the solar system to nearby stars, which may soon be reached by nanoships traveling on laser beams at near the speed of light. In any case, he brings us beyond our galaxy, and even beyond our universe, to the opportunity of immortality, showing us how humans may one day be able to leave our bodies entirely and laser port to new havens in space. With irrepressible enthusiasm and wonder, Dr. Kaku takes readers on a fascinating journey to a future in which humanity may In any case fulfill its long-awaited destiny a few of the stars.
