Shelves: 0-technology

I devour tech nonfiction books, especially those who give a good overview and I tend to incidentally analyze how the authors' professions, ideas, and outlook influence how different the future extrapolations can be.

In this case, it´s as perfect as it can be, because Weinersmith is a parasitologist with a progressive perspective on the ten mostly techy topics and, most importantly, a podcaster who knows how to entertain an audience. Jay, no dry science in the house.

“Why stop at seven margaritas when you can just print a new liver?”

Predictions from futurists are not all equal or equally entertaining. Kelly Weinersmith and Zach Weinersmith's Soonish: Ten Emerging Technologies That'll Improve and/or Ruin Everything was interesting, compelling and (replete with references to D&D, Star Trek, Star Wars and the robot uprising of 2027) was relatable in a geeky way.

Q:
There was a study in 2011 called “Are Talking Heads Blowing Hot Air,”* in which the predictive abilities of twenty-six pundits were assessed. Predictive powers ranged from mostly right to usually wrong.*
For most people, the pleasure of reading this study was the discovery that certain individuals were not just intolerable morons, but statistically intolerable morons. From our perspective as pop science writers, there was an even more exciting result: Regardless of their predictive prowess, all these people still have jobs. In fact, a lot of the worst predictors were the most prominent public figures. (c)

The big discontinuous leaps, like the laser and the computer, often depend on unrelated developments in different fields. (c)

Consider this: If someone came to you two hundred years ago and asked how we might build a device to scan people’s brain patterns, would your immediate response be, “Well, first we need to trap some gas in a glass tube”? (c)
Q:
The same difficulty holds for all the technologies in this book: Whether we can build an elevator to space may depend on how good chemists get at arranging carbon atoms into little straws. Whether we can make matter that assumes any shape we tell it to may depend on how well we understand termite behavior. Whether we can build medical nanobots may depend on how well we understand origami. Or maybe none of that stuff will end up mattering in the end. There is nothing about history that necessarily had to be as it was. (c)
Q:
We now know that the ancient Greeks could create complex gear systems, but never constructed an advanced clock. The ancient Alexandrians had a rudimentary steam engine but never designed a train. The ancient Egyptians invented the folding stool four thousand years ago, but never built an IKEA. (c)

There are also people who become cynical because they thought we’d have fusion power or weekend trips to Venus by now. (c)

For all these chapters, we had to read a lot of technical books and papers and we had to talk to a lot of mildly crazy people. Some were crazier than others, and generally they were our favorites. (c)

This novel was written by husband and wife pair, the former, a cartoonist and the latter, a noted Rice University Researcher. They interviewed many scientists across various fields of study to learn about up and coming technologies. They start each segment by explaining where we are with a certain technology, then discuss where research is heading, what the future could be like, potential advantages, concerns and pitfalls. Interspersed within this writing are many nerdy scientific jokes and cartoons to help lighten the reading. The humor is the kind you would expect from scientists, not the laugh out loud kind. That said, I did appreciate the diversion.

The ten areas explored in the book are: 1. Cheap Access to Space, 2. Asteroid Mining, 3. Fusion Power, 4. Programmable Matter, 5. Robotic Construction, 6. Augmented Reality, 7. Synthetic Biology, 8. Precision Medicine, 9. Bioprinting and 10. Brain-Computer Interfaces. There were some chapters, especially the medical ones, where I found I knew much of the content, but still the future applications were quite interesting. Other chapters were completely new to me and I was grateful to this book for enlightening me. Depending on your background, you may find the presentation of information simplistic or you may find it mind blowing. For the average lay person without a scientific background, this book is a wonderful introduction to emerging technologies and what we might expect in the future. I also found myself envisioning ideas for futuristic science fiction novels while reading this. There is much food for thought here.

I like that the authors are bringing much of what is currently exciting about science and technology to greater attention in a very readable format. I recommend this to anyone who is interested in learning more about the topics mentioned above. I am also grateful to the Book Riot 2017 Read Harder Challenge for pushing me to read harder and choose a book in this category. I'm glad I did! ...more

Imagine you are at a dinner party and you meet a new person, let’s call him Bob. Now you quickly realise that Bob is super intelligent, and you start having the most interesting conversations. The problem is Bob spits when he talks. Its highly annoying (and unhygienic) and you end up cutting the chat short.

"You promised me Mars colonies, and all I got was all of human knowledge indexed and available to everyone on Earth for free."

Remember watching "Back to the Future" and thinking we'd have hoverboards and self-tying shoes by now? Does it ever frustrate you that technology doesn't progress FASTER than what it does? Like, "What the heck are those scientists doing? They can't grow us new bodies yet?? What's the big hold up, this one is falling apart!". I love to read technology books and they're usually quite optimistic that all these new devices and medical procedures, etc. will be available in "the very near future". I am often left wondering, If we already have experimental versions of these technologies, why won't they be available for several more years? The books make it seem so simple, and I wonder why it's not as simple for those scientists creating these technologies.

In Soonish..., wife and husband team Kelly and Zach Weinersmith tell us exactly WHY. They discuss 10 emerging technologies, explaining what they are, what we can do with them so far, and why they don't yet do everything they theoretically can/should. Sure, you might think that it's oh-so-easy to build a space lift that will transport you from the ground to the international space station. Well, actually, if that's what you're thinking, you're wrong. You probably should read this book to see why it's not quite as simple as you think it is.

The Weinersmiths delve into such areas as brain upgrades, programmable matter, mining on asteroids, bioprinting new organs, and many other interesting topics. Whilst I didn't learn of any technologies I hadn't previously known about, this book was still informative and a lot of fun! The authors are incredibly witty and I often found myself laughing. If you like comics, there are several interspersed within the chapters (normally comics aren't my thing, but they somehow made this book even better). If you like technology, and you like to learn, and you like to laugh whilst you're learning, this is the book for you! ...more

A popular science book that takes a look at emerging technologies and pairs it with comic strips and humor? Yes, please!

This book has a lot of things going for it. Most importantly the technologies that are covered within. Some highlights being cheap access to space (space elevators! - and others), fusion power, programmable matter, bioprinting and brain-computer interfaces.

The authors put a lot of effort into the research AND are able to explain science to the layman - quite effortlessly in fact. And also with an open mind and a considerable amount of imagination. So, that’s great.

I also like how they structured the book. First they provide some background information on the respective topic. Then they look at where we are standing now, covering different technologies/approaches. Thirdly they present possible future applications and discuss potential problems and reservations. And then we also get sometimes funny and sometimes informative asides. It works pretty well.

What didn’t work well for me at all was the humor. There are maybe ten or so panels per chapter of Zach Weinersmith’s drawings. And they simply aren’t very funny. Or many of them I did not find funny. While I could live with that and just write it off as a bit of a wasted opportunity, the text, after some time, becomes a problem. What the authors optimistically call humor (their words) is just everywhere, on every page. It’s often juvenile (which I don’t mind) and very rarely is it funny (which I mind a lot). It was okay in the beginning, but got a little tiring towards the end. I just got the feeling they were trying a little too hard. Or maybe we are just not compatible in that department.

Another problem with books like these is that technology moves fast. Inevitably, a book like this will be outdated quickly. Perhaps even at the time of publication (which was 2017 in this case). But it isn’t that much of a problem, actually. If you are not an expert in the field of, say, bioprinting but you think it’s an interesting topic then why not start here?! You can always look up the newest developments on the internet. And this book may give you some ideas what should be interesting to take a deeper look at.

Overall 3.5 stars, rounded down. Without the funny it might have gotten four. As strange as that may sound. ...more

I was bamboozled.

I read a fantastic book called “Filmish” which uses a comic-book format to discuss the history of cinema.

When I saw a book called “Soonish”, which promised “a hilariously illustrated investigation into future technologies”, I imagined a science-focused “Filmish”.

This was not that book.

The illustrations were sparse and amateurish, the humor falls flat in most places, and although the science is accurate enough, the writing is juvenile and condescending at times.

With those negatives out front, Weinersmith really does a good job of giving you/us the current state of a wide variety of science. Just enough information to be coherent discussing them at parties and in my case enough information that I became curious and went to find more.

I’ve read my share of future science books which present the “oh, wow” and “shiny-happy” version of the future, and I think what sets this one apart is the way the Weinersmiths present not only the “wow” part but also the “oh crap” part of the technologies which may shape our future, and give a realistic timeline (if there actually is one) of when these technologies could become a factor. Some already are on our doorstep and have begun to knock. All the chapters are really well researched and contain interviews with experts. The book features a bibliography and an index if you want to go back and revisit your favorite subject. The conclusion contains a Graveyard of Lost Chapters which consists of a short examination of four future technologies that didn’t make it in to the book and were “put down” but the authors.

Any science geek will enjoy this book. The topics covered are as follows:

The Universe, Soonish: Cheap Access to Space, Asteroid Mining
Stuff, Soonish: Fusion Power, Programmable Matter, Robotic Construction, Augmented Reality, Synthetic Biology
You, Soonish: Precision Medicine, Bioprinting, Brain-Computer Interfaces

What I liked most about the book was the simple explanations of the technologies, some of which are a bit hard to get one’s head around. Especially good was the chapter about CRISPR-Cas9. Gene editing is one of the most important technologies invented in many and has the potential to change lives. I’ve read a bit about this over the last year or so and the explanation in this book one of the easiest to understand I’ve run across.

And the a very cool bonus: if you have the Soonish app on your phone and point it at the book cover or even an image on your computer it shows an augmented reality space elevator, complete with the ship moving up the wire to the station in orbit!

I would highly recommend Soonish to anyone with an interest in science. It is a rate combination of humor and science, and I found it to be more accessible than a lot of books of its ilk. ...more
