Its so easy on the eye & a beautiful brain installlation of alll the futuristic possibilities & conceptions straight off the cuff, or so its seems, this book is a joy to read & I highly recommend it to absolutely anyone who has an interest in future theoretical thoughts in Science.
Good but dated - By: , 20 Jan 2004 
A fascinating book, which gets better the futher away from the present it goes. Unfortunately being writen around 5 years ago some of the modern predictions seem dated. Still worth a read.
A Window to the future - By: , 03 Jan 2002 
If you want to have a feel of what the future will be... try this book. Apart from a few scientific terms, Kaku provides some good examples & relates very well to real world--our everyday life.
You simply must read this book... - By: , 07 Jun 2000 Rarely have I found a book where the subject matter is so intriguing that I simply couldn't put it down. Kaku presents such a well thought out & expertly written vision of the next century that is hard not to believe. Obviously much is extrapolated from current trends in science & technology, but the book is well worth reading merely to get an insight into the developments currently underway. Read this book - you won't be disappointed.
Jungle village better than Kaku's global village - By: rowland.morgan@virgin.net, 18 Nov 1999 The give-away in Kaku's book is the "Week In The Life" he sketches of an American in 2020. War has vanished. Want is no more. The technological surround is complete. Luxury & comfort have won. So have US-dominated multinational corporations, who have presumably copyrighted every life form in sight. There is no sign of democracy, pesky old human nature or other species. This core vision of Kaku's is, frankly, dismal, reminding me of e.e.cummings's "spirituallly impotent pseudo-community". Compared to Kaku's dream future, life in a little village in the jungle, wearing few clothes, catching the odd peccary that runs through the grass huts, frolicking down at the waterfalll, unencumbered by money, waste or techno-gadgetry seems like the wildest dream of paradise. And indeed, it was the kind of life we led for 300,000 years. If each individual scientist that Kaku interviewed for his childish book lost their grant tomorrow, it would be a better world.
