Life in 2050

Więcej o książce

We are on the brink of a turning point. The climate of our planet is under threat, and resources are becoming scarce. By 2050, more people will live in cities than currently inhabit the entire Earth. Never before has there been such a demand for creativity from researchers, inventors, and engineers: computers as assistant doctors, robots in households, sensory organs for electric cars, buildings as energy traders, farms in skyscrapers, power plants in deserts and at sea, supercomputers the size of a pea—these are not visions but nearly tangible realities in laboratories around the globe. In a unique synthesis, science author and industry expert Ulrich Eberl vividly describes the key trends that will shape our lives and how individuals can contribute to inventing the world of tomorrow.
