“The Future of Humanity” Michio Kaku

Nonfiction, 307 pages.

Hands down this is one of the best books I have read.  Keep in mind I love anything space related.  Currently, I am watching old episodes of Star Trek.  I love the possibilities of future space travel.  This book outlines those possibilities and how we may one day reach them.

This book was both fascinating and mind blowing.  As I finished each chapter, I could not wait to read the next to discover what may await humanity.

The author writes in an easy-to-understand language.  At times it reads like a novel drawing you in to the future of us.  The author not only covers our immediate future, such as a trip to Mars but he also takes the reader deep into the future.  Where one day humanity may have to leave this universe.

I enjoyed how he explained each possibility along with the pitfalls and problems we may encounter.  He also offers solutions to those problems.  It’s a book full of a hopeful future for humanity.  As we take our sights and dreams to the stars, the prospects are endless.  If we as a unified species can make intelligent decisions there is the potential to evolve into a greater version of ourselves.
