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. New york times bestsellerthe #1 bestselling author of the future of the mind traverses the frontiers of astrophysics, and technology to offer a stunning vision of man's future in space, artificial intelligence, from settling Mars to traveling to distant galaxies.
We are entering a new Golden Age of space exploration. We travel beyond our galaxy, and even beyond our universe, hyperspace, wormholes, including warp drive, as Kaku investigates some of the hottest topics in science today, parallel universes, and the multiverse. 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.

The Future of the Mind: The Scientific Quest to Understand, Enhance, and Empower the Mind
Kaku looks toward the day when we may achieve the ability to upload the human brain to a computer, neuron for neuron; project thoughts and emotions around the world on a brain-net; take a “smart pill” to enhance cognition; send our consciousness across the universe; and push the very limits of immortality.
Michio kaku, the new york times bestselling author of Physics of the Impossible and Physics of the Future tackles the most fascinating and complex object in the known universe: the human brain. The future of the mind brings a topic that once belonged solely to the province of science fiction into a startling new reality.
The future of the mind is an extraordinary, mind-boggling exploration of the frontiers of neuroscience.
Physics of the Future: How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100
In physics of the future, kaku forecasts a century of earthshaking advances in technology that could make even the last centuries’ leaps and bounds seem insignificant. He also takes into account the rigorous scientific principles that regulate how quickly, how safely, and how far technologies can advance.
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—working in their labs on astonishing prototypes.

Entertaining, and imaginative, informative, Physics of the Impossible probes the very limits of human ingenuity and scientific possibility. Anchor Books.
Beyond Einstein: The Cosmic Quest for the Theory of the Universe
What is superstring theory and why is it important? this revolutionary breakthrough may well be thefulfillment of Albert Einstein's lifelong dream of a Theory of Everything, uniting the laws of physics into a single description explaining all the known forces in the universe. Anchor Books.
Visions: How Science Will Revolutionize the 21st Century
Paperback with scene of space. Great product! Anchor Books. In visions, biogenetics, physicist and author michio Kaku examines the great scientific revolutions that have dramatically reshaped the twentieth century--the quantum mechanics, and artificial intelligence--and shows how they will change and alter science and the way we live.
The next century will witness more far-reaching scientific revolutions, as we make the transition from unraveling the secrets of nature to becoming masters of nature. Anchor Books. Part two illustrates how the decoding of DNA's genetic structure will allow humans the "godlike ability to manipulate life almost at will.
Finally, visions focuses on the future of quantum physics, in which physicists will perfect new ways to manipulate matter and harness the cosmic energy of the universe. What makes michio kaku's vision of the science of the future so compelling--and so different from the mere forecasts of most thinkers--is that it is based on the groundbreaking research taking place in labs today, as well as the consensus of over 150 of Kaku's scientific colleagues.
Science, asserts kaku, for all its breathtaking change, evolves slowly; we can accurately predict, what the direction of science will be, based on the paths that are being forged today. A thrilling, unique narrative that brings together the thinking of many of the world's most accomplished scientists to explore the world of the future, Visions is science writing at its best.
The Space Barons: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and the Quest to Colonize the Cosmos
Great product! The historic quest to rekindle the human exploration and colonization of space led by two rivals and their vast fortunes, egos, and visions of space as the next entrepreneurial frontier The Space Barons is the story of a group of billionaire entrepreneurs who are pouring their fortunes into the epic resurrection of the American space program.
Now they are pursuing the biggest disruption of all: space. Based on years of reporting and exclusive interviews with all four billionaires, the birth of a new Space Age, this authoritative account is a dramatic tale of risk and high adventure, fueled by some of the world's richest men as they struggle to end governments' monopoly on the cosmos.
These entrepreneurs have founded some of the biggest brands in the world-Amazon, Tesla, Virgin, Microsoft, PayPal-and upended industry after industry. Anchor Books. Nearly a half-century after neil armstrong walked on the moon, along with Richard Branson and Paul Allen-are using Silicon Valley-style innovation to dramatically lower the cost of space travel, these Space Barons-most notably Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, and send humans even further than NASA has gone.

The Case for Mars: The Plan to Settle the Red Planet and Why We Must
But all that changed when leading space exploration authority Robert Zubrin crafted a daring new blueprint, Mars Direct. Paperback with scene of space. Anchor Books. He explains how scientists can use present-day technology to send humans to Mars; produce fuel and oxygen on the planet’s surface with its own natural resources; build bases and settlements; and one day terraform—or alter the atmosphere of the planet in order to pave the way for sustainable life.
Since the beginning of human history, Mars has been an alluring dream—the stuff of legends, gods, and mystery. Anchor Books. When it was first published in 1996, the case for mars became an instant classic, “nearly alone, lauded widely for its game-changing perspective by those who would see the American space program rise to the challenge of Mars; Carl Sagan called Zubrin the man who, changed our thinking on this issue.
Now, zubrin brings readers up to date in this revised and updated anniversary edition filled with spectacular illustrations, fifteen years later, extraordinary photographs, and one-of-a-kind anecdotes. Unlike the dead world of the Moon, the Martian landscape is filled with possibility, but humans must be able to survive there.
