"The essential book for understanding the challenges and technologies that will
shape the next few decade.
How will we live in the future? And what will the human race become? Will we
nurture designer babies, be served by intelligent robots, have personal 3-D
printers and grow products on the vine using synthetic biology? Or will
shortages of oil, fresh water and other natural resources constrain our
lifestyles and lead to industrial decline?

In this fascinating guide, Christopher Barnatt examines 25 known challenges and
technologies that will shape the next few decades. From Peak Water to vertical
farms, from nanotechnology to augmented reality and from electric cars to space
travel, Barnatt paints a startling picture of future possibilities that no
individual or business will be able to ignore.

25 Things You Need to Know About the Future will include sections on:
The End of the Age of Plenty, The Next Industrial Wave, Fuelling the Third
Millennium, Computing and; Inorganic Life and Humanity 2.0, covering such
topics as climate change, food shortages, 3-D printing and nano-technology,
kinetic power, cloud computing and cybernetic enhancement."
