Kaku’s latest book, “Physics of the Future,” gives readers a stunning vision of what our world could look like in 2100. He estimates that people will control computers via tiny brain sensors and be able to move objects around with the power of their minds. Enter to win a copy of his book.
Kaku is one of the most widely recognized scientists in the world today.
