Physics of the Future

Physics of the Future (2011) by Michio Kaku. This book takes a no-holds-barred look at what physics might accomplish by the year 2100, and some of the predictions are pretty far out. They include contact lenses that act as computer screens, artificial intelligence that helps you shop, and jobs as robot operators maintaining the sea wall around large cities near the ocean. Although I think it is futile to try to predict 88 years into the future what science might achieve, I found Kaku's speculations to be entertaining and instructive. I would bet that the future will be radically different from what he envisions, but it's still fun to read his thoughts. Grade: B+
