"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 detais the developments in computer technology, artificial intelligence, medicine, and space travel that are poised to happen over the next hundred years. He also 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 - alreadiy 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 bonds seem insignificant." - from the rear outer covr. "A whirlwind tour of technological possibility." - New Scientist. "Makes the exponential character of technological progress stick in the reader's head, so that they come to look at the world differently." - The Sunday Telegraphy (London). "[Physics of the Future] has the ability to surprise and enthrall and frighten." - The New York Times.

In this flight to the frontiers of cosmology, theoretical physicist Michio Kaku explores the idea that we may live on the skin of an expanding bubble in an infinitely developing multiverse. 'Parallel Worlds' sets out the scientific concepts that could unravel the greatest mysteries of our existence. Kaku's exhilarating tour takes in Copernicus, Newton, Einstein, Schrödinger and Hawking, relativity and quantum theory, the big bang, black holes, hidden dimensions, dark matter and superstrings. And although it is a story whose ending we may already know, as our galaxy accelerates towards oblivion in a 'Big Freeze', Kaku daringly speculates that intelligent life may one day cheat extinction by escaping to a new universe.
