Cover image for Hello from 2030 : the science of the future and you


Schutten, Jan Paul
Nonfiction
Grades 3-7

Robots. Flying cars. And what the heck is futurology?

From living  homes ( where plants grow in earthen walls) and computers that roll up like sheets of paper, to disease-fighting robots that patrol your body and cars that can drive themselves--what will the future look like?

We know the Earth's population will grow, and our technology will continue to get faster and smaller.  We know we will cure more diseases.  But what about the things we don't know?  Maybe there will be an invention that changes everything.  Or an unexpected event will turn the whole world upside down!

Today it's time for you to start shaping the future by discovering how futurologists determine what's ahead.  Then put your own imagination to the test.  With the dynamic illustrations and challenging thought experiments in Hello From 2030, you, too, can become a prediction pro.
