Summary: | A volume of 15 new, specially commissioned essays by notable journalists and cholars such as Rudy Rucker, Jim Holt and Gregory Benford presenting a series of speculations on the most radical, but well-grounded ideas they can conceive, projecting the universe as it might be in 1,000,000 C.E. Their collective effort is an exploration into a barely conceivable distant future, where the authors confront far-flung possibilites, at times bordering on the philosophy of science. |
