Editor of This Will Change Everything, John Brockman collects the responses of 150 intellectual superstars to the question “what game-changing scientific ideas and developments do you expect to live to see?” What students get is Ian McEwan (author of Atonement) on the full flourishing of solar power; Steven Pinker (author of The Language Instinct) on the introduction of direct-to-consumer genomics; Richard Dawkins (author of The God Delusion) on cross-species breeding; and Sam Harris (The End of Faith and Letter to a Christian Nation) mind-reading technology-just to name a few.
Exhilarating, visionary, sometimes frightening, but always fascinating, This Will Change Everything provides students with an eye-opening road map of their near future as told by some of the world’s sharpest minds.
