Soonish: Ten Emerging Technologies That'll Improve And/Or Ruin Everything by Zach Weinersmith, Kelly Weinersmith
3.0
For me, too much humor not enough content. I think I like more in depth types of science books rather than survey types and as always, humor is subjective and it just wasn't my type.
With those negatives out front, Weinersmith really does a good job of giving you/us the current state of a wide variety of science. Just enough information to be coherent discussing them at parties and in my case enough information that I became curious and went to find more.
A good, well thought out book that just didn't hit my sweet spot. I would recommend it to anyone. If you can find a way to read one chapter before buying it, you can tell from that if you will like the rest of the book.
