I love Kaku's approach to taking immensely complex ideas and making them approachable. I also appreciate that he is clear when he's describing something theoretical.

My biggest disappointment is that I won't live long enough to see the innovations that this book reveals to us.

I found the writers speculation on what the future might mean for humanity leaving the Earth and travelling to the planets, stars and beyond to be interesting. I was a little disappointed in how broad in scope the book was and how in many cases it focused on scientific predictions of what might be possible in a very far off future. But, I guess that the nature of the topic it covers.

This is my first Michio Kaku book and I am very impressed with how easily he was able to convey some very complex ideas. This book is very expansive and cover a whole range of issues when discussing ways to help humankind evolving into a multi-planet species. Just some of the topics touched on: history of rocketry and notable historical figures, propulsion technologies, philosophical/ethical barriers, medical technologies, etc... if you're looking for a good primer on this topic, you can scarcely do better, IMO.
Can't wait to start on some of his other works!
