About the Book

An illustrated, imaginative exploration of future technology and science for children that carries a message of hope and optimism The Children's Book of the Future is a narrative non-fiction book that offers an inclusive and hopeful vision of the future, with a diverse, multicultural approach that will appeal to children of all backgrounds. The book consists of eighteen stories that each take inspiration from current scientific research. They present engaging, optimistic futures that could result from real-world science, with insets delving into how that science works. The book is highly illustrated throughout to make complex ideas more accessible, and depict the wondrous futures that could be ahead. Some of the diverse visions explored include a plane ride on one of Saturn's moons, a journey to a faraway star that is lightyears from Earth, life on a floating city, and living amongst robots. In short, the book sets out to reclaim the future for current and future generations of children.

About the Author :
Lavie Tidhar is a multiple award winning science fiction writer and children's author (Central Station; Candy). He is a Washington Post columnist and a visiting professor at Richmond, The American International University in London. Richard Watson is a highly-respected futurologist who has worked with the Judge School at Cambridge University and the Tech Foresight Practice at Imperial College. He is author of several books, including Digital Vs Human.

Review :
"Our children hear many reasons to be afraid of the future, and not many to be hopeful. THE CHILDREN’S BOOK OF THE FUTURE is a beautiful, ideas-packed introduction to a world to look forward to - a world we can all help to make." "Finally, a book about the future for those who will live in that future! From exploring our solar system to finding other inhabitants in nearby star systems, this a book about and for those who will be the first earthlings to journey beyond our planet." “The only thing wrong with the Children’s Book of the Future is that it didn't exist fifty years ago! If it had, I’d have gulped it down. Right here and now, though, one couldn't ask for a more vibrant, engaging and downright fun guide to the world of tomorrow. It’s unfashionably optimistic and I love it for that. Lavie and Richard have done the future proud.” “Eye-opening, funny and visually delightful! Perfect for young readers and families to explore together, The Children’s Book of the Future is a must-have for anyone who dreams of what tomorrow might bring.” “Amazing and astounding: a kaleidoscope of marvellous and inspiring futures. This is a book to lose yourself in.”

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
