2018, so increasingly outdated. (Pre-James Webb, for instance).
Some interesting information & angles, but also some odd politics I don’t agree with and that felt unnecessary.

Such a fantastic book! I love Kaku’s honest approach that confronts the very real problems that humanity faces, but with a consistent air of optimism and forward thinking

This was a fun thought experiment. There are a few of his ideas that I'm not in complete agreement with (particularly with respect to time frames and the potential biology of extraterrestrial life), but if you treat it as just that - a thought experiment - it's an enjoyable read.

Kaku's books continue to introduce me to ideas and scientific theories I've never heard of or considered. They're fascinating. It's amazing to learn what is going on and what we dream to one day accomplish. Kaku handles his subject matter with ease and knowledge.
As we consider the future it's fascinating the continued discussion on mortality and what makes a life or existence.

Easy accessible and quite enjoyable — some parts are a bit dated, but it’s interesting to see how predicted/planned events actually transpired against the what was predicted to happen. Particularly liked the historical factoids and theproposed ideas for reaching space.
