If you like interesting research on the future of technology this is for you, but it's not just that it's an argument to have hope in the future and take solace in the knowledge that so many people out there are working to take care of the worlds problems.

This felt like a very superficial tour of a number of technologies likely to play a large role in the near future. However, the author lacked any special insight and often got very obvious things wrong. Once he told me Aristotle was a student of Socrates, I checked out, never to fully return. While the topic (to the extent there is one) is interesting, this book was only marginally worth reading.

This is tough for me to rate. The first two sections were fairly boring and...not THAT interesting or (to me)optimistic. But when Stevenson started talking about the future of the Earth, well, that got both interesting and optimistic. If you care about the environment, or are worried about the future of the Earth, it's probably worth reading those chapters. Otherwise, you have to be REALLY into science to like this.
Also, for what it's worth, the prose is accessible and the man is funny. But still.
