Michio Kaku is a physicist who wrote lots of popular science books. I am currently reading his latest book titled The Future of the Mind. I am still in the beginning pages yet it is really a page turner book. The main theme of the book is about the mind as the title suggests. In the chapter I am currently reading he is telling us the history of the different scanners of the brain and the different researches done starting from the beginnings of the twentieth century. He also mentions the motivation behind his pursuing physics as his career. It is really amazing to know that Science Fiction could have such an influence on the imagination of a teenager he was! I was wondering why we don't have, in the Arab world, enough appreciation for science fiction. We tried at Hindawi Foundation for Education and Culture to translate and sell few science fiction titles and they failed miserably. May be we need to push harder and market enough to draw the attention of the readers to this type of fiction. Anyway, I am continuing the reading of Kaku book The Future of the Mind.
