The Future of Humanity

£10.99

Human civilisation is on the verge of spreading beyond Earth. More than a possibility, it is becoming a necessity: whether our hand is forced by climate change and resource depletion or whether future catastrophes compel us to abandon Earth, one day we will make our homes among the stars. Michio Kaku explores in rich, accessible detail how humanity might gradually develop a sustainable civilisation in outer space.
