  1. Physics of the Future: How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Out Daily Lives by the Year 2100 by Michio Kaku
  2. 9/10
  3. Non-fiction, Science and Math, Smart
  4. It's really cool to see how technology will accelerate, exponentially in some cases, in our lifetime. The technology they predict is still in development. Finally, many of the places talked about in the book take place in my own back yard where I hang out/live (Silicon Valley, Palo Alto, Stanford). It is really cool reading a book and saying "Huh, I was chilling there last week!"

I've always heard good things about Edgar Rice Burrough's The Land that Time Forgot though I've sadly never read it myself. And, hey, it's free!

As far as science non-fiction, I consider A Short History of Nearly Everything to be absolutely essential since it covers so very much in a tremendously entertaining way. Also, if you are interested in physics but don't have any background in it I recommend any of Michio Kaku's books such as his latest Physics of the Future. He writes in an accessible manner that distills all the things that make the ongoing developments in physics exciting. I credit reading his books many years ago with getting me started in the sciences. Lastly, for learning about the universe, you can never go far wrong with Carl Sagan's Cosmos. It is easy to see from reading it why he is considered one of the greatest of the science popularizers.

Possibly, however it'd be good to remember that just because we have computers that can process faster than the human brain that doesn't mean computers will be smarter than a human, that's still way off.

Relevant book: Physics of the Future, if you haven't read it, it's quite fantastic.

u/darien_gap · 2 pointsr/Futurology

I propose instead Kaku's more future-oriented and more recent (by three years) Physics of the Future(2012).

Not laws of physics, but the silicon wafers are etched with ultraviolet light, and UV-light's diameter is 10nm. To go under 10nm we need new technology for making processors. There is a point after which silicon based processors become unstable.

Don't quote me on this one. I read it from Michio Kaku's book and may remember it slightly wrong. Please correct if someone is has more information.

I find that really exciting too. Reddit has tons of great subreddits for reading about the latest advancements in different fields.

Here are some you might like:r/technology, r/gadgets, r/Futurology and /r/TheFutureIsNow are a few of my favorites. There are also several subreddits specifically about nanotechnology, as well as a lot on electronics and computers.

Have you read Physics of the Future? It is all about that and it was a truly amazing book. I've watched parts of it slowly become true. I'll read about new technology and think, that's just like Dr. Kaku wrote! It's one of my favorites. I highly recommend it if you haven't read it yet.

Physics of the Future by Dr. Michio Kaku, published in 2011.

 

As for Kaku's views on time travel, I was able to find these:
