Download Where's My Jetpack?: A Guide to the Amazing Science Fiction Future That Never Arrived AudioBook Free
It's the 21st century, and let's be honest: things are just a little disappointing. Despite every World's Fair prediction and the advertisements in comic books, we aren't living the near future we were promised. Right now, life was said to be a fully automated, atomic-powered, germ-free Utopia, a place where a grown man could wear a velvet spandex unitard rather than be laughed at. Where are the ray guns, the flying cars, and the hoverboards that people expected? What happened to our moon colonies and servant robots? In Where's My Jetpack? roboticist Daniel H. Wilson requires a hilarious look at the future we imagined for ourselves. You will learn which technologies already are available - and when the technology is not public, you will learn how to build, buy, or steal it. Where's My Jetpack? is an entertaining look at the world that people always wanted.
