Review:
I enjoyed those interesting stories and technology developments in this book. It provides special ideas for engineers and scientists. I believe American needs to invest more on her innovation. Otherwise other developing countries will catch up very fast. The development in automotive industry mentioned in this book really amused me since I always keep an eye on cars. Hopefully we will see those technologies in the real world soon. --Amazon.com
The authors put forth a well conceived and balanced thesis in their examination of 12 transformational technologies, which they fully anticipate shaping the world of tomorrow. The great thing about this title, is it's not just another one of those books trafficking solely in the theoretical. The author's have taken their academic view of the future and carefully weaved it together with a narrative focusing on the practical implications these technologies will have for business and investors alike. I will say that sometime the book becomes mired in technical details, but that is a minor criticism for an otherwise great ride --Amazon.com
