Tomorrowland by Steven Kotler


Steven Kotler's Tomorrowland: Our Journey from Science Fiction to Science Fact explores the edges of current technology. Is there a motorcycle airplane in the near future? What are the prospects engineered eyesight for previously blind individuals? Can we design a nuclear power plant that has minimal waste and very safe? Did human growth hormones or steroids get a bad rap because they were helping HIV infected individuals live longer?

This glimpse into the near future challenges some preconceptions about our future reality. If we can mine asteroids, what will that do to the price of precious metals.  It also reduces the need to extract these minerals from earth with a risk of ecological damage.  A segment on DNA printing shows the edge of the technology.
