Weve seen the future. And its shit.
From the authors of the mega-selling Is It Just Me or Is Everything Shit
Once, we were promised a sci-fi future that never arrived. But what if it really is on its way now
The Shape of Shit to Come takes a funny tour of the future taking shape before our eyes a future of sex robots, hotels in space, kids making their own pets with gene-splicing kits and people planning, for real, how they can turn themselves into hyper-intelligent genetically enriched cyborg immortals of the future.
Because these things are happening. As of yet only the geeks are talking about this stuff. But is that wise Shouldnt we all be getting with the programme Otherwise were leaving the future of humanity in the hands of people who ride scooters indoors.
A stupendously wide-ranging compendium of what is happening in the world of tech . . . an encyclopedia for the cant-be-arsed. NEW SCIENTIST
