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.

Critic reviews

"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)

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.

A bridge between science fiction and science fact.

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.

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!
