The Future of Humanity: Colonization of Mars, Travel to the Stars, and Achieving Immortality

Sooner or later, humanity will have to search for and colonize habitable worlds beyond Earth. Michio Kaku's book is one of the first attempts to create a 'roadmap' for the coming greatest migration in human history.

The author — a well-known science popularizer — examines the history of the issue, technical aspects, and possibilities for future space colonization, discussing tasks that are still unsolved — from the colonization of Mars and building refueling stations on comets in the Oort Cloud to superluminal travel across the Galaxy, encounters with extraterrestrial intelligence, and achieving immortality as a condition for mastering the Universe.

These ideas excite society; they captivate Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Sergey Brin, and other pioneers of new technologies who are investing in solving the problems of the near and distant future. Undoubtedly, they can be seen as an integral part of modern worldviews, in the formation of which Michio Kaku makes a valuable contribution.
