Take everything kaku writes with a grain of salt.
He frequently borders dangerously on charlatan.
- laumars 10y agoI think that's a little unfair. The guy is a respected professional physicist after all. But you often only read about him or see him on TV when he's doing his "fluff" piece - but that's more a problem the with how the media loves to dumb things down than it is with Michio Kaku's credibility. Regarding the book: it basically takes past scientific breakthroughs to show how tech has evolved, then couples that with current bleeding edge experiments and hypotheses to theorise how sci-fi concepts could/might be solved. It follows a nice balance between factual and entertainment which makes it a refreshing read compared to the dryness of many other books by respected scientific authors.
