The Future of Humanity

Posted on 19 February 2018 by Michio Kaku

Human civilization is on the verge of spreading beyond Earth More than a possibility, it is becoming a necessity whether our hand is forced by climate change and resource depletion or whether future catastrophes compel us to abandon Earth, one day we will make our homes among the stars.World renowned physicist and futurist Michio Kaku explores in rich, accessible detail how humanity might gradually develop a sustainable civilization in outer space With his trademark storytelling verve, Kaku shows us how science fiction is becoming reality mind boggling developments in robotics, nanotechnology, and biotechnology could enable us to build habitable cities on Mars nearby stars might be reached by microscopic spaceships sailing through space on laser beams and technology might one day allow us to transcend our physical bodies entirely.With irrepressible enthusiasm and wonder, Dr Kaku takes readers on a fascinating journey to a future in which humanity could finally fulfil its long awaited destiny among the stars and perhaps even achieve immortality.
