Future Magic

Laser beams, microwave ovens, and direct broadcast satellites all seemed right out of the pages of science fiction two decades ago, yet today they are taken for granted. What incredible surprises does the future hold? In FUTURE MAGIC, Dr. Robert L. Forward explores the remarkable possibilities, showing how today's science fiction may be tomorrow's technology as we ride cable cars to the moon and beyond, communicate using gravitational waves, live aboard floating world-ships with all the amenities of life on Earth, but few of the problems and travel through time. Here is a provocative look at the mysteries of future magic and how they may be turned into future science sooner than you think.
