MichioKaku's Physics of the Future: The Inventions that willTransform our Lives is a hypothetical journey through thenext 100 years of scientific innovation, as told by the scientistswho are making it happen.

We all wish wecould predict the future, but most of us don't know enough aboutthe science that makes it possible. That's why Michio Kaku decidedto talk to the people who really know - the visionaries who arealready inventing the future in their labs.

Based oninterviews with over three hundred of the world's top scientists,Kaku gives us an insider's perspective on the revolutionaryadvances that mean we'll soon be able to take an elevator intospace, access the internet via our contact lenses, scan our DNA forsigns of disease and even change the shape of objects - and allstill within the laws of known physics.

This isn't justthe shape of things to come - as Kaku shows, it's alreadyhappening.
