[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: A Wonderful Read! - I have to admit that I had never read anything from Dr. Kaku before this book. I wanted to, as I have heard of Dr. Kaku quite a bit; I just never got around actually picking up any of his books. But it all changed when I decided to buy "Physics of the Future," and all I can say that it exceeded all my expectations. Perhaps the biggest advantage of "Physics of the Future" is its accessibility. Dr. Kaku wrights in a way that allows "ordinary" people with no or little knowledge of physics and math to enjoy his work. The ideas in the book are all very interesting and clearly communicated. I especially liked the last few chapters that deal with sociology and human events. It is interesting to see these issues discussed from a physicist's point of view. The book also had some eye opening hypothesis, analysis of current events, as well as plausible predictions for the future. I have to say, I now have a much better understanding of current trends thanks to Dr. Kaku's insights. People more familiar with physics and other sciences might think this book is too "dumbed-down" for their taste, but I think for "ordinary" readers it has a wealth of knowledge to convey. I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone, except the actual physicists (they would probably be bored). ;) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #116,809 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #42 in Social Aspects of Technology #323 in History & Philosophy of Science (Books) #4,346 in Politics & Social Sciences (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,435 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.

No? Mmm, very disappointing. Stop reading now! Is your answer yes? This is your book. Prepare your travel kit and... start reading. You're going on a journey 100 years into the future! All the predictions made in this book are the result of long discussions between Michio "First in His Physics Class" Kaku and the greatest experts he had the chance to interview for different scientific shows. The good news is that the subject is simplified and made understandable to everyone. As a consequence the reader will be fully immersed in the Kaku's optimistic Vision(s) of the Future (ehi, the BBC mini series starring... Michio Kaku!). What about the bad news? Well, if you are a fan of Kaku's approach to scientific popularization and you followed him through the years, then this book will reveal a matrix-esque déjà vu. Furthermore (I know, nothing to do with this book), if by chance you want to receive an autographed book from mkaku.org, listen to me, don't do it. You will be disappointed . As soon as the so called web manager receive your money will "faster-than-light" forget about you and after an entire year of polite waiting (?), be sure, no book and no communication will have reached you. Short word for it: scam. Let's go back now to the main purpose of these written words : a book review. Personally, I really enjoyed the book. No yawning and a smart-and-fast reading. Every page is interesting and entertaining. Perhaps the Kaku's vision of the future is, as I said, too optimistic but at the end this approach makes the book lighter. You can always find a dark future in other books anyway. Finally, are Kaku's predictions accurate? Should we really care? The funny part is to sit, patiently wait (as long as we can) and see how the future will unfold in front of our eyes. Who knows, perhaps in one hundred years we'll still be around to read Physics of the Future version 2.0. Apparently I am even more optimistic than Kaku's visions! ## 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.ph/products/286825-physics-of-the-future-how-science-will-shape-human-destiny](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/286825-physics-of-the-future-how-science-will-shape-human-destiny) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-29*
