Ultimate Book of the Future: Incredible, Ingenious, and Totally Real Tech that will Change Life as You Know It

 

機器狗、噴氣背包、生化人、超級絲滑的太空裝…，未來，這些將不是科幻，而是真的。

科技日新月異，這些看似瘋狂的點子，說不定很快就實現了。本書匯集未來世界最酷的技術和異想天開的點子。如，提重物的機器人，陪你逛街，幫你將物品送回家。鬧鐘響了，但這個鬧鐘不會發出嗶嗶聲，反而用鮮榨柳橙汁和早餐香氣喚醒你。智能衣服：擁有天氣預報功能，給予穿衣建議，還會自己清洗，保持清爽，隨時和汗味說掰掰。衣服還能內嵌微型太陽能板，手機沒電了，放在衣服上，就可充電﹙太方便了吧！﹚。另外，還可能可以到太空旅行，聽幾場全像投影的演唱會。

本書談及未來城市、太空旅行、高科技娛樂，甚至拯救世界，詳盡有趣。特闢「可能發生嗎？」章節，一解孩子最好奇的疑問，如侏儸紀公園真的存在嗎？機器人會不會有可能當總統呢？「明天的工作」：太空飛行員、讀心術專家、與仿生人的溝通專家…。

Robot dogs! Jet packs! Cyborgs! Super-sleek space suits! It’s not science fiction, it’s science reality. And soon, it may be part of everyday life. This book is a jam-packed collection of the coolest tech and wildest ideas that are shaping the world of tomorrow.

Each chapter also includes a “Future Fail!” that profiles one thing we thought we'd have by now, but don't (like everything from The Jetsons.) And kids will see where they might fit into the picture through the “Jobs of Tomorrow” profiled in each chapter. (Job titles include mind reader, space pilot, and robot-human communicator. Seriously!)
