Böcker av Thomas Lombardo

The Future of Science, Technology, and the Cosmos was completed in 2002 and is only now finally available in published form. Presenting a "big picture" vision of reality and the future, the book covers theoretical science and cosmology; the philosophy of science; the impact of technology on human society and psychology; information technology, computerization, cyborgs, and robots; web networks and intelligence; energy, resources, industry, and nanotechnology; evolution, open systems theory, biotechnology, and the quest for immortality; the environment, ecological science, and ecological crises; the future of nature; space travel and space colonization; alien and cosmic intelligence; and the far distant future of the universe and the limits and scope of human knowledge. Discussions on all these topics are informed by contemporary science fiction, futurist thought, and visionary scientific and technological speculations.

The Odyssey of the Future: The Ultimate Adventure was completed in 1997 and is only now finally available in published form. Created as a textbook for a college-level introductory course on the future, the book provides a comprehensive and integrative overview of all the major dimensions of future human reality, including science, technology, ecology, education, society, psychology, culture, and religion. Inspired, visionary, thoroughly researched, and philosophical in scope, the book was my first substantial futurist writing, marking the beginning of a twenty-five year career in futures studies.

A transformative exploration of the development of science fiction as a central driving force of humanity's evolution.

This book presents a unique and empowering evolutionary vision of wisdom and the human mind, to guide us in creating a positive future.
