Here’s a review I did on amazon.com for Desirable Future: Consumer Electronics in Tomorrow’s World.
Review

This is a thought provoking book that explores advances in complementary science, technology, medicine and engineering and how consumer electronics will change our society, our planet and our selfs.

This book covers almost every topic you could think of in terms of electronics.
Some of the discussed topics are the death of the PC, advancements in wired and wireless networks, Moore’s law, new types of CPUs and computing, Singularity, environmental impact from e-waste and manufacturing consumer electronics, and etc.

The author explains each topic well enough for most people to understand.
Two themes that are echoed throughout the book are that future devices will be smaller, faster and mostly wireless while using less power. Also, socialites will become heavily dependent on technology to function.

I enjoyed reading “Desirable Future” but was left wondering who Jack Challoner was and how he knows so much, until I opened the back cover. It turns out that Jack Challoner has written more than 30 books and is a consultant science editor for books, magazines, science activity packs and Cd-ROMs.

I recommend this book for anyone fascinated with technology.
