It's a good book though small flaws noticed - By: Sp Morris, 18 Jun 2008 
I found this book to be very clearin its discussions & explanations of 'difficult' physics.
My only quibble is precognition - I have experienced precognition several times & I don't
agree with the author that it is impossible.
On the boundaries of science and fiction - By: Christian Jongeneel, 05 Jun 2008 
Michio Kaku takes a pleasant verbal stroll along science fiction classics like force fields, time travel, parallel universes, telepathy, artificial intelligence & the like, while explaining the physics that would be involvedin making these come true. Quite a lot more is physically possible than one would think.
Mr Kaku does a fine job of systematically exploring the boundaries of science & fiction. Unfortunately, his prose is rather bland & the anekdotes - the icing on the cakein books like this - lack the liveliness that is needed for a really gripping read. For readers who prefer content over style this should be no deterrent.
An entralling high level snapshot that challenges possibilities - By: MarkP, 23 Apr 2008 Got this book & finished it the day after it arrived. Captivating stuff ! As a high level introduction to the current state of a variety of scientific areas it's fantastic.
Kaku tends to spend a little more time on the areas close to him, but everthing gets good coverage. As a springboard to understand current progress it allows the reader to go off & find more information on the particular subject areas that interest them.
I read itin the same week as Ray Kurzweil's 'The Singularity is Near' & it's interesting to see both the overlap, & how things have moved onin 5 years.
Allin all a great book for the layman & those with a scientific background. Oh, & a great price for a hardback book right now :)
