Some of the stuff seems a bit starry eyed, but hey, he's the physics prof. Plus, everything is postulated on sound research and precedents. Strangely, it all seemed most plausible toe me when he conjectures "A day in the life" 2100. I wonder how much of this I will live to see? And my children? ( )

Terribly thought-provoking and, despite a 2011 publication date, still relevant today.
(I wonder who ghost-wrote the short story at the end.) ( )

Excellent scientific text, although it is somewhat out of date. I read it in the early 2010s as part of an honors assignment in my university physics class. I was a physics major, but the book doesn't contain the same level of detail as a book written for specialists; this book can be understood by non-physicists. The author provides detailed explanations of the plausibility of various futuristic technoloties, some of which are seen in science fiction. Very interesting. ( )

I'm slightly ashamed how long it took me to read this book, but after reading, rereading, and rerereading passages if this book, I've finally ingested it and proud that I understood a lot of it without growing bored and discouraged. ( )
