This is an essential guide to understanding the challenges and opportunities for humanity's survival in the years ahead. The book discusses the science of what we'll eat, where we'll live, and who we'll be.
So where will we live? How will we get around? What will we look like? These are just some of the questions best-selling author and popular science broadcaster Jay Ingram answers in this exciting book. The analyses contain in this book span over science and technologies and examines how they will affect every aspect of our lives over the next thirty of forty years.
In this book, Ingram explores the future of our technological civilizations. If you wonder where things will all end up, this book is for you. Ingram believes that technology will make our live better on many different levels.
There will be advances on the research in organ and limb regeneration, advances in prosthetics, the merging of the human and the synthetic, and gene editing. If this doesn't sound exciting, and yet scary enough, there's more.
Vertical farming and lab-grown food might help feed millions and alleviate pressure on the planet. Cities could accommodate green space and the long-awaited flying car may just happen.
Finally, Ingram speculates on the future of artificial intelligence, even superintelligence, as well as our place on Earth and in the universe.
All of these advances will impact the development of science and technology. They will be powerful and wide-ranging, complicated by ethics and social equity. And they will inevitably revolutionize every aspect of life and even who we are.
The future is exciting but also full of deep issues that will result in a lot of difficulty for philosophers and psychologists alike. It will challenge the very fabric of our soul, something that I am really not looking forward, despite all the advances.
