The Singularity is explored, where robots are able to create generations of ever increasingly intelligent robots. Robots have taken over all jobs that are manual in nature, leaving for humans only jobs which are creative in nature. Kaku provides a model where the computer is ubiquitous, RFID chips are in everything, and we are all interconnected to each other and our environments. The computer has gone from a tool for scientist, to a utility that is provided via "the cloud" in the near future. Much of the information was through first hand observation of the newest technology on the planet, as well as by interviewing subject matter experts in the areas covered in the book. He compiled information on computers, artificial intelligence, medicine, nanotechnology, space travel and more. Kaku looks at the future and makes some very interesting predictions about the next 100 years. He is the co-founder of string field theory (a branch of string theory), and continues Einstein's search to unite the four fundamental forces of nature into one unified theory, according to his web site .ĭr.
