The Future of Humanity

Terraforming Mars, Interstellar Travel, Immortality, and Our Destiny Beyond Earth

De: Michio Kaku

Narrado por: Feodor Chin

New York Times best seller

The number-one best-selling author 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.

We are entering a new Golden Age of space exploration. With irrepressible enthusiasm and a deep understanding of the cutting-edge research in space travel, world-renowned physicist and futurist Dr. Michio Kaku presents a compelling vision of how humanity may develop a sustainable civilization in outer space. He reveals the developments in robotics, nanotechnology, and biotechnology that may allow us to terraform and build habitable cities on Mars and beyond. He then journeys out of our solar system and discusses how new technologies such as nanoships, laser sails, and fusion rockets may actually make interstellar travel a possibility.

We travel beyond our galaxy, and even beyond our universe, as Kaku investigates some of the hottest topics in science today, including warp drive, wormholes, hyperspace, parallel universes, and the multiverse. Ultimately, he shows us how humans may someday achieve a form of immortality and be able to leave our bodies entirely, laser porting to new havens in space.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Feodor Chin's narration is unflaggingly positive.... Chin's reading is anchored in a journalistic tone that matches the author's pop-science style - part scientific, part anecdotal, and part speculation." (AudioFile)

A bridge between science fiction and science fact.

Quite an interesting book if you're looking for an overview of emerging technologies that might pave the way towards a future in the stars. I could have done without the bit about global warming, not because I don't believe in climate change but when I read Michio Kaku I want his opinions in the field he is an expert in, I don't particularly care for his opinions otherwise. (I don't ask my engineer father for medical advice or the like.) Overall though, it's a great book.

In Layman’s terms

I’m not a theoretical physics student, or any other type of physics student. Once again, Dr Kaku does an incredible job of using plain language to explain the impressive theories and phenomena in this book in such as a way as to make me wish I was a theoretical physics student to assist in the search for the solution to the unified field theory.

the future of humanity!

loved it ! never lost lost interest in it , entertaining and full of scientific facts , learned a lot of new cool stuff about the cosmos ! it even recommended several interesting movies which I didn't know about them, the best of all is that you get to listen and learn from 1 of the most well respected scientists of our times Mr Michio Kaku . also the narrator kept this boon interesting all the time and made it more into like a "CAN'T STOP LISTENING " audiobook!
IF WE CAN SURVIVE THE NEXT 200 YEARS WE HUMANS WILL BE SAFE AS WE ARE GOING TO REACH THE STARS ! our survival is not in mother earth but in the galaxy! go ahead read it or listen to it you wont regret it !

Interesting

This is an interesting book even if you aren't really into science normally. I highly recommend it!

Understanding what's in-store for us.

very insightful look at what may be in store for the human race as we know it.

Awesome!

Very technical and detailed in the mechanical and scientific fields of space and time. Highly recommend for anyone who is a fan of Dr. Michio Kaku.

Science in an everyday language

I haven't enjoyed a science book since my high school days like this one. Brilliant.

Dr. Kaku’s depth of knowledge and his ability to communicate with average folk like me.

I have read several of Kaku’s books. While he’s beyond me at times, I continue to enjoy his scientific insights that challenge my intellect.

Wow

Enjoyed story and performance. I got lost on a few of the later chapters so I’ll have to listen again but interesting ideas on our future.

this is a must read for all science fiction lovers

great great great, amazing yo see how advanced scientifically we are and what is possible!!@
