With remarkable clarity, narrative suspense, and deep knowledge of modern technology, internationally renowned physicist Mikio Kakou speaks about the "hottest" topics of space travel, rocketry, robotics, biotechnology, warp drives, wormholes, hyperspace, and parallel universes.

He ignites our imagination with NASA's approved plans for cosmic colonization and does not hesitate to serve us rich food for thought: How will we slow down the aging process to withstand intergalactic flights of centuries? How will self-aware robots act when, instead of constructing human habitation facilities on Mars, they "decide" to perpetuate their own species and make plans for their future, ignoring their programmers? Will we conquer digital immortality as we - abandoning our bodies - teleport, via lasers, our digital map of brain connections, memories, and consciousness to the far reaches of the Universe? How distant is such a future and how human will humanity be then?
