The Future of Humanity: Terraforming Mars, Interstellar Travel, Immortality and Our Destiny Beyond Earth by Michio Kaku

4.0

Love Kaku’s books about the weirdness of physics in our universe and the unusual applications that entails. Love the idea of our species heading off planet to maintain the species. There was a lengthy bit about genetics which demonstrated the silliness of the current “Non-GMO” fad; Kaku gives the facts, humans have been genetically modifying our food crops through selective breeding for more than 2,000 years (the prime example being corn which can no longer spread its own seed without human intervention). This was probably heading toward a 5-star review but got a little too speculative at the end (because of the subject) and wasn’t very relatable. But very entertaining nonetheless. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
