A colleague of mine recommended this book saying: "at first, I would have said is a very very good textbook for a dynamical systems class. After using it, still think is good, but maybe not superb". Right now, after reading half of it, I'm still in the first stage. I'll use it as basic bibliography, complemented by Strogatz' nonlinear textbook.
I skipped the sections of networks.

Clarissa is giving a party. She is a complex human being, and Wolf's style marvelously captures her essence. But she is also a snob. I would have loved to know more about Sally, someone much more interesting, or Septimus, for that matter.

Review of 'Physics of the Future: How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100' on 'Goodreads'

Al parecer no se trata de un libro sobre la física, versa acerca de los productos que podremos comprar gracias a la tecnología. Lo que es como aburrido. Llamelo "la vida en el año 2100".
Las primeras predicciones son como obvias. Googleglass... Pantallas de pared a pared con skype. (really?) Vamos a ver si la cosa mejora.
/////////////
Definitivamente, el campo de Michio es la física. El libro predice cambios en la medicina, exploración especial, la nanotecnología, y cómo las tecnologías derivadas de la física actual pueden cambiar la vida en el futuro. Un poco desfasado en algunas predicciones sobre el comercio electrónico ( nadie tiene el estómago para leer todos los comentarios sobre una lámpara ), y sobre la economía. Pero en general es un buen libro.
