Soonish: Ten Emerging Technologies That'll Improve And/Or Ruin Everything by Kelly Weinersmith, Zach Weinersmith

4.0

A fun mix of popular science and humor. Perhaps the best thing about the book is that it imparts a sense of hopeful optimism, that science is progressing in thousands of ways around us, and while 3d printed livers and space elevators are a while away, researchers looking toward these technologies are inventing super strong fibers and printable blood vessels along the way.

Also it offers important life advice. How to get on the inside track in the science field of your choice? Bribe researchers with cookies. Cheap ones are good enough. How to avoid the robot apocolypse? Don't accept their cookies. (Evidence is offered for both of these theories and yes, it's kind of related.)
