The more I have gotten into the study of how society progresses technological change, the unpredictable speed of that change, and the need to make decisions today that will create chain reactions extending far into the future, however, the more I have realized just how important (and misunderstood) this field of study is. I used to see it as a fun topic to speculate on, but not one with the kind of actionable, present-day implications that one might think. I’ve recently made a bit of a transition in my thinking about the field of futurism (if you can call it that). In addition, a reading the Three Body Problem Trilogy, I’ve really been bitten by the futurism bug, and that led me to finally pick up this book, which has been on my shelf for awhile. Michio Kaku has been fascinating to me I’ve been reading up on his work regarding string field theory for awhile now.
