At first glance Kaku seems to paint a utopian future for humanity based upon three pillars of modern science: quantum physics, DNA technology and the computer revolution. However, a deeper examination reveals that Kaku's vision is vitally lacking in depth, and reflects modern scientific cultures' obsession with technology at the expense of humane and spiritual values.
