Книга Мичио Каку "Физика будущего: изобретения, которые изменят нашу жизнь" - это гипотетическое путешествие в следующие 100 лет научных инноваций, рассказанное учеными, которые воплощают это в жизнь • Мы все хотели бы уметь предсказывать будущее, но большинство из нас недостаточно знают о науке, которая делает это возможным. Вот почему Мичио Каку решил поговорить с людьми, которые действительно знают - провидцами, которые уже изобретают будущее в своих лабораториях • Основываясь на интервью с более чем тремя сотнями ведущих ученых мира, Каку дает нам представление о революционных достижениях, которые означают, что скоро мы сможем летать в космос на лифте, выходить в Интернет с помощью контактных линз, сканировать нашу ДНК на наличие признаков болезней и даже изменять форму глаз

The internet is a network of physical cables and connections, a web of wires enmeshing the world, linking huge data centres to one another and eventually to us. All are owned by someone, financed by someone, regulated by someone • We refer to the internet as abstract from reality. By doing so, we obscure where the real power lies • In this powerful and necessary book, James Ball sets out on a global journey into the inner workings of the system. From the computer scientists to the cable guys, the billionaire investors to the ad men, the intelligence agencies to the regulators, these are the real-life figures powering the internet and pulling the strings of our society • Ball brilliantly shows how an invention once hailed as a democratising force has concentrated power in places it already existed – that the system, in other words, remains the same as it did before

In A Rough Ride to the Future, James Lovelock - the great scientific visionary of our age - presents a radical vision of humanity's future as the thinking brain of our Earth-system • James Lovelock, who has been hailed as 'the man who conceived the first wholly new way of looking at life on earth since Charles Darwin' (Independent) and 'the most profound scientific thinker of our time' (Literary Review) continues, in his 95th year, to be the great scientific visionary of our age. This book introduces two new Lovelockian ideas. The first is that three hundred years ago, when Thomas Newcomen invented the steam engine, he was unknowingly beginning what Lovelock calls 'accelerated evolution', a process which is bringing about change on our planet roughly a million times faster than Darwinian evolution
