Profiles of the Future: An Inquiry into the Limits of the Possible
Categories: Science & Math
Arthur C. Clarke's classic work of futurology, first published in 1962 and revised over the following decades. Clarke examines what science and technology might make possible, from space travel and new energy sources to artificial intelligence and communication, explains why experts so often fail to predict the future, and sets out his famous laws, including that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
