The Future of Humanity: Colonizing Mars, Traveling to the Stars, and Achieving Immortality

Sooner or later, humans will have to seek out and colonize habitable worlds beyond Earth. Michio Kaku's book is one of the first attempts to create a "roadmap" for the future greatest migration in human history. The author - a well-known science popularizer - examines the history of the issue, technical aspects, and options for future space colonization, discussing tasks that still have no solutions - from colonizing Mars and building refueling stations on comets in the Oort cloud to faster-than-light travel across the Galaxy, encounters with alien intelligence, and achieving immortality as a condition for exploring the Universe. These ideas excite society, captivating individuals like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Sergey Brin, and other captains of new technologies who are investing in solving problems of the near and distant future. And undoubtedly, they can be seen as an integral part of modern worldview, which Michio Kaku enriches with valuable contributions.
