[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. Review: A Fabulous Look at the Future - 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! Review: Inspiring - "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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #196,576 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #119 in Social Aspects of Technology #452 in History & Philosophy of Science (Books) #592 in Physics (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,444 Reviews | ## Images ![Physics of the Future: How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81B46OzeUDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.

But even though this book is al right I also must say that it's most meant for persons who don't know much about the knowledge of today, and for these persons it will fine as the first book concerning this. And as it's helpful for these people I give it a good character even though for my own use I would prefer that it had a higher level in physic and mathematic. Although the book attempt to tell about all the science used today, and maybe in the future, MK for example forget to tell whom it was that brought the name and the idea of the Robot. That is Capek who in his novel used the word Robot for the machines which over time became just as clever as the human beings and then finished by taking over the power. And Capek used the Czechoslovakian word for labor, which is robota. And even before this writing in the 1930es we already had the legend of the Golem in Hungary. Besides on side 132 where MK writes about Rasputin, using the words "Mad monk", it for me look like he maybe is telling the opposite to what actual went on in history of the World. Because he writes that the action of Rasputin maybe resulted in the communists coming to power. But Rasputin among other things tried to stop Russia for going into the First World War. And think about how the history might have turned out quit different at many points if the nobles close to the Tsar had not succeeded in killing Rasputin and if Russia then had not gone into this War! And on side 151 he writes about life spans and then mentions that concerning the alligators and crocodiles in the zoos it looks like that when they are living in peace they nearly lives for eternity. But here we already have the turtle that Darwin brought home to England and which still live, and thereby have lived longer than the alligators and crocodiles. And besides we also now know about a case of a whale in the ocean which is now 172 years old. And furthermore only a few years ago we discovered insects living on the bottom of oceans close to very warn volcanoes and which are now around 300 years old! And on side 161 MK writes that: "The gene for human fur apparently still exists but has been turned of". To this it is to mention that there still exist some person with fur, and we sometime here in Thailand have seen them in TV when they have been interviewed. And it's really strange to se these persons with faces totally covered with a fur existing of long hair. And in the chapter concerning energy he forgets to mention that Shell now is building gigantic ships for gas production out in the oceans, the biggest ships ewer build. They will be 488 meter long and 74 meter wide (1,600 * 243 feet) and weight 600.000 tons. This is 6 times that for the American aircraft carrier of the Nimitz class, and 3 times the newest and biggest of the Maersks ships. And they will be placed out in the oceans by Australia and Korea. . And now when the book was printed we also got knowledge to a belt of anti protons some hundred km over the Earth, in the Van Allen belt. And which prior but physical calculations were found to being there! ## Frequently Bought Together - Physics of the Future: How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100 - The Future of the Mind: The Scientific Quest to Understand, Enhance, and Empower the Mind - The Future of Humanity: Our Destiny in the Universe --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/286825-physics-of-the-future-how-science-will-shape-human-destiny](https://www.desertcart.in/products/286825-physics-of-the-future-how-science-will-shape-human-destiny) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-08-25*
