Book Reviews of Visions: How Science Will Revolutionize the 21st Century

Book Review: A Letdown
Summary: 2 Stars

After reading Hyperspace I wanted more from Michio Kaku, and this was not it. Yes, it was from Kaku, but it was nothing like Hyperspace. This book is mostly just a series of predictions about the future, most of which are wild speculation, even though the basic physics behind them is solid. If that's what you're looking fro, you've found it. However, don't expect to be overly impressed. Read one of Kaku's other books... they have SO MUCH more to offer.
