What the Future Looks Like: Scientists Predict the Next Great Discoveries and Reveal How Today's Breakthroughs Are Already Shaping Our World by Jim Al-KhaliliMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I found this somewhat interesting. The book covered a good number of topics, and included near-future as well as far-future possibilities. If you read a lot of science non-fiction books and magazines like Wired, you’ve heard this before, especially the near-future concepts. I most liked the sections where the authors “let it ride” and speculated on the far future. You usually get those kinds of ideas and discussion only from science fiction books, and the prognostications are used to push the plot forward, usually without context. It is good to get a scientist’s take – not just of what may happen, but why. This book does a reasonable job of that.
