The Future of Us

  • Format:

A fascinating look at the cutting-edge science and technologies \n\nthat are on the cusp of changing everything from where we’ll \n\nlive, how we’ll look, and who we’ll be, by the popular science \n\nbroadcaster and bestselling author Jay Ingram. \n\nWhere will we live? How will we get around? What will we look like? These \n\nare just some of the questions bestselling author and popular science \n\nbroadcaster Jay Ingram answers in this exciting examination of the \n\nscience and technologies that will affect every aspect of human life. \n\n \n\nIn these pages, Ingram explores the future of our technological \n\ncivilization. He reports on cutting-edge research in organ and limb \n\nregeneration, advances in prosthetics, the merging of the human and the \n\nsynthetic, and gene editing. Vertical farming and lab-grown food might \n\nhelp feed millions and alleviate pressure on the planet. Cities could \n\naccommodate green space and the long-awaited flying car. Finally, he \n\nspeculates on the future of artificial general intelligence, even artificial \n\nsuperintelligence, as well as our place on Earth and in the universe. \n\n \n\nThe potential impact of these developments in science and technology will \n\nbe powerful and wide-ranging, complicated by ethics and social equity. \n\nAnd they will inevitably revolutionize every aspect of life and even who we \n\nare. This is The Future of Us.
