Description
A provocative and inspiring look at the future of humanity and science is presented in this book by renowned scientist Martin Rees. Humanity faces existential risks over the next century, but Rees argues that our approach to planning for tomorrow can be different. By harnessing technological advances wisely, we can address our challenges and overcome threats such as climate change and nuclear war. Advances in biotechnology, cybertechnology, robotics, and artificial intelligence hold great promise, empowering us to boost the developing and developed world. Space science will also enable humans to explore the solar system and beyond with robots and AI. However, there is no "Plan B" for Earth, and we must care for our home planet if we are to have a viable future. Rich with fascinating insights into cutting-edge science and technology, this accessible book provides a critical perspective on the issues that will define humanity's future on Earth and beyond.
