How will we live in the future? And what will the human race become? Will we nurture designer babies, be served by intelligent robots, have personal 3-D printers and grow products on the vine using synthetic biology? Or will shortages of oil, fresh water and other natural resources constrain our lifestyles and lead to industrial decline? In this fascinating guide, Christopher Barnatt examines 25 known challenges and technologies that will shape the next few decades. From Peak Water to vertical farms, from nanotechnology to augmented reality and from electric cars to space travel, Barnatt paints a startling picture of future possibilities that no individual or business will be able to ignore. 25 Things You Need to Know About the Future includes sections on: The End of the Age of Plenty, The Next Industrial Wave, Fuelling the Third Millennium, Computing and; Inorganic Life and Humanity 2.0, covering such topics as climate change, food shortages, 3D printing and nano-technology, kinetic power, cloud computing and cybernetic enhancement.
