Publisher Description
An inquiry into the limits of the possible.
Our problems on Jupiter, Mercury, Venus - conquering Time - transport in the future - overcoming gravity - communications across space - benevolent electronic brains.
The range of this enthralling book is immense: from the re-making of the human mind to the vast reaches of the universe. Newly revised, even the remarkable events of the last decade have affected few of the exciting speculations by Arthur C. Clarke - a scientist whose expert and wide knowledge is matched only by his brilliant imagination.

Profiles of the future
One of the most absorbing books I have read.
Arthur C Clarke, one of the greatest sci-fi writers of all time, wrote this book in the 1960s.
He predicts the future of scientific developments by logic and anecdotes of failed predictions of the past.
Made all the more interesting now that we are 50 years into the future.
