Introduction
Summary of the book Soonish by Kelly Weinersmith and Zach Weinersmith. Before we start, let’s delve into a short overview of the book. Think about the last time you imagined the future. Maybe you pictured flying cars racing across glowing city skies, or robots helping with your chores. Perhaps you imagined visiting Mars for a family vacation, or printing a new house on the spot. While these ideas once seemed like pure science fiction, many of them are now closer to reality than we might think. Scientists, engineers, and inventors all around the world are working on projects that could change our lives in ways we can barely begin to understand. From creating buildings that assemble themselves, to printing human organs for transplants, to editing the DNA of living creatures—these incredible breakthroughs may arrive not centuries from now, but perhaps sooner than we ever expected. In the following chapters, we will explore cutting-edge technologies that promise to make our world very different, and learn how they might improve—or possibly complicate—our lives, soonish.
Chapter 1: How Giant Elevators, Space Nets, and Asteroid Mining Could Redefine Space Travel.
Imagine standing on a floating platform in the middle of the ocean, looking up into a bright, endless sky. Now imagine that, instead of boarding a traditional rocket, you could step into a gigantic elevator that gently carries you straight up into space. It sounds like something from a wild sci-fi movie, but many scientists and engineers are seriously studying ideas like the space elevator. The main reason such big, bold concepts are taken so seriously is the cost and difficulty of sending things—and people—beyond Earth’s atmosphere. Right now, launching a rocket is extremely expensive, mainly because you must carry huge amounts of fuel and carefully protect the cargo. If we could develop structures like space elevators or cheaper space planes, traveling into orbit, building space stations, and exploring distant planets would become more accessible and far less expensive.
One of the grand visions is to connect Earth and an orbiting asteroid with an ultra-strong cable. This cable would allow cargo, equipment, and maybe even passengers to climb into space at a fraction of today’s costs. The big challenge here is materials. We need something both incredibly light and unimaginably strong—far stronger than the best steel. So far, no known material fits the bill, though scientists are researching carbon nanotubes and other advanced substances that could one day make it possible. In the meantime, other creative approaches to cheaper space travel are emerging, such as the concept of the space plane. A space plane might take off like a normal airplane, use the surrounding air to save on fuel, and then switch to rocket power as it soars above Earth’s atmosphere.
Another exciting idea is asteroid mining. Imagine catching a large rock floating in space and turning it into a space quarry. Asteroids could be full of valuable metals, water, and other materials that we need for building habitats on Mars or fueling rockets for journeys farther out. A company called Tethers Unlimited has even proposed a system called the Wrangler, which would capture asteroids with a net-like device. Once you have an asteroid under control, you could mine it for metals and other resources, or move it to a more convenient orbit. This could potentially create a chain of human-made outposts across space, using asteroids as stepping stones for constructing future space stations, fueling stations, or even entire space cities built from off-world materials.
These ideas might seem fantastical, but they reflect a growing desire to move beyond traditional rocket launches. By reducing the cost of escaping Earth’s gravity, we open the door to incredible adventures: from huge orbiting hotels to scientific research labs circling other planets. However, before we reach this point, a lot of challenges must be overcome. Engineers have to solve tricky material science problems, figure out new ways to keep astronauts safe from cosmic radiation, and manage the delicate balance of international cooperation in space. Moreover, we must consider the environmental impact of setting up massive infrastructures in orbit and mining cosmic rocks. The potential is thrilling, but we must think carefully about how to proceed. Still, the future of space exploration could become far more affordable and adventurous—sooner than we think.
Chapter 2: Why Harnessing Fusion Power May Finally Turn Us into Clean Energy Superheroes.
Think about the power of the sun. It shines brightly and steadily, providing energy to billions of living things. This massive energy source comes from a process called fusion: under enormous pressure and heat, tiny atoms smash together and fuse, releasing huge amounts of energy. For decades, scientists have dreamed of recreating this process on Earth to produce clean, safe, and almost limitless electricity. Unlike today’s nuclear fission reactors, which split atoms and create dangerous waste, fusion power could be cleaner and safer. But so far, taming fusion has been extraordinarily hard. The conditions needed to force atoms together are intense. Extremely high temperatures, powerful magnetic fields, and complex machines are all required. Still, many believe we are on the cusp of breakthroughs that could make fusion a practical energy source in the not-too-distant future.
One attempt at achieving fusion involves firing strong lasers at tiny pellets of special fuel. By squeezing these pellets with unimaginable force, scientists hope to trigger fusion reactions that release more energy than the lasers use. Another approach, championed by international collaborations, involves giant, doughnut-shaped reactors known as tokamaks. These machines use magnetic fields to hold a ring of super-hot plasma in place, hoping that the plasma’s conditions will be perfect for fusion. If engineers find the right setup—enough heat, enough pressure, and stable conditions—then atoms could fuse repeatedly, generating clean power. The project known as ITER, involving many nations, aims to prove that fusion can produce more energy than it consumes, which would be a groundbreaking moment for humanity’s energy supply.
The road to fusion has been filled with delays, budget overruns, and countless technical difficulties. Creating a stable fusion reaction is like balancing a spinning plate on a pencil tip while juggling flaming torches. There are enormous engineering puzzles to solve: controlling scorching hot plasma, efficiently capturing the energy produced, and building reactors that last long enough without melting or breaking down. Yet, as scientists refine their tools and learn from past experiments, they grow more confident that fusion energy can become a reality. They know that if we can master fusion, we could enjoy electricity that doesn’t rely on burning fossil fuels or creating long-lived radioactive waste. It’s a clean, long-term solution that could change our planet’s future.
If successful, fusion power plants could run day and night, producing steady, reliable energy without pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Over time, this could lower the cost of electricity and reduce the global dependence on coal, oil, and gas. Such a breakthrough would help slow climate change and improve the lives of countless people, especially those who currently have limited access to power. Of course, just like any huge project, fusion’s success depends on continued funding, scientific cooperation, and careful planning. But the promise of fusion is so great that many are willing to invest time, money, and talent into making it happen. With every new experiment and design tweak, we inch closer to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future—a future that could arrive sooner than we imagine.
Chapter 3: Shape-Shifting Origami Robots, Magical Building Materials, and the Power of Programmable Matter.
Try to imagine a bucket of weird, gooey stuff. Now imagine this mysterious substance can be told what to become, and it transforms into whatever object you need—a hammer, a cup, a chair. This isn’t just fantasy; it’s the dream behind programmable matter. Scientists are experimenting with materials that can change shape when given specific instructions. At MIT, researchers are developing origami-like robots that can fold themselves into various forms, just like folding a paper crane. By placing tiny moving parts (actuators) at certain spots, these sheets can bend and twist, changing shape to handle different tasks. Someday, medical experts hope to use these shape-shifting materials inside our bodies, delivering medicines straight to where they’re needed, or performing delicate procedures without the need for big cuts and surgeries.
Programmable matter doesn’t just offer medical benefits. Consider a house built from materials that shift and adapt to changing weather. If it’s hot and humid, the wood-like panels might curl to let in a cool breeze. If it’s cold, they might press together to keep you warm. Some researchers have even begun experimenting with wood that naturally bends in response to moisture in the air, adjusting a building’s ventilation without electricity. This could lead to smarter structures that waste less energy. Beyond housing, such materials could be used in cars, clothing, or even everyday tools, making them more efficient and versatile.
But as we advance, tricky questions arise. If anyone can buy a bucket of shape-shifting material, what’s to stop a person from making a weapon? If it’s easy to create complex tools at home, how will governments ensure public safety? Also, who would be responsible if a programmable car part malfunctions and causes an accident? As the lines between physical and digital control blur, we must consider how to keep people safe, protect privacy, and prevent misuse. Laws and regulations for traditional tools might not fit these brand-new possibilities, so policymakers must think carefully about what rules are needed.
Ethical dilemmas also appear when materials gain a kind of agency. Imagine a world where everyday objects can reshape themselves to solve problems. That sounds amazing, but what if these objects could be hacked to behave dangerously? The power to transform physical reality so easily means we need thoughtful discussions about responsibilities, liabilities, and safeguards. Programmable matter could revolutionize medicine, construction, and manufacturing. It could help build safer cars, lighter airplanes, and robotic helpers that adapt to any situation. Yet, we must never forget that the convenience and wonder come with challenges. Balancing the thrill of endless possibilities against the need for safety and fairness is not simple, but our choices today could shape how these marvels fit into our lives soonish.
Chapter 4: Robots with Giant Printers, Self-Driving Construction Trucks, and the Future of Buildings.
When you think of robots building something, maybe you picture factory machines assembling cars with robotic arms, welding parts together at perfect angles. But what about houses? Traditionally, houses are constructed by people putting beams, bricks, and mortar together. This is a long, complex process. However, breakthroughs in large-scale 3D printing might completely change how we build our homes. In China, a company called Winsun has started printing buildings. They create house parts in a factory, layer by layer, and then assemble them on location. This method uses fewer materials, reduces waste, and can be much faster than old-fashioned construction methods. This means that one day, you might move into a home built not by a large construction crew but by a gigantic 3D printer and a handful of operators.
In the United States, Dr. Stephen Keating has taken another step by developing a truck with a massive robotic arm that sprays out layers of foam-like material, forming molds that can be filled with concrete. This allows for creative shapes, customized designs, and sturdy structures that can be built fairly quickly. And that’s not all. Another version of the truck can drive itself, imagining a day when robots roam around construction sites without human drivers. They could build temporary shelters after disasters, create underwater structures, or even help set up bases on distant planets. By making building cheaper and faster, these technologies could provide homes for people in need, such as refugees or those living in slums. Affordable, safe, and clever building techniques could help solve housing crises around the globe.
Of course, shifting to robotic construction might mean some construction workers lose their jobs. On the other hand, new opportunities might arise for technicians who know how to operate and maintain these machines. Some experts worry that the pay gap between machine-savvy engineers and manual laborers will grow even wider. Still, the benefits might be too great to ignore. Faster, cheaper building could enable beautiful, complex designs that would be nearly impossible with traditional methods. Imagine curving walls, intricate patterns, and organic shapes that fit perfectly into the surrounding landscape, all printed effortlessly by a robotic arm following a computer blueprint.
With such innovation, the way we think about architecture could radically change. Cities might sprout remarkable buildings that adapt better to local climates and conditions. Natural disasters might do less damage if we can 3D print stronger, flexible structures or rebuild rapidly. We might even solve housing shortages in developing countries, giving more people safe and comfortable places to live. As these technologies improve, concerns about quality control, safety standards, and environmental impact will remain. We must ensure that these new methods don’t harm the planet by using toxic materials or increasing waste. Yet, the potential for robotic construction to lower costs, speed up building times, and unleash our imagination is enormous. It could truly change our skylines and our lives, soonish.
Chapter 5: Adding Virtual Layers to Reality, Smart Helmets, and the Promise of Augmented Worlds.
Imagine walking through a forest and seeing digital labels and explanations hovering beside every tree and flower. Or standing at a busy street corner and watching virtual arrows show you the way to your favorite café. This is the promise of augmented reality, or AR. Unlike virtual reality, which completely replaces your surroundings, AR adds useful layers of digital information onto what you’re already seeing. Special glasses, helmets, or even contact lenses could display data, instructions, or entertaining animations in real-time. For example, a construction worker using a smart helmet could see exactly where to place a beam, or a doctor performing surgery could view a patient’s vital signs and instructions right in front of their eyes, without looking away to check a monitor.
AR can boost learning, speed up training, and improve safety. Some studies have shown that trainees using AR can perform complex tasks more quickly and make fewer mistakes. This could apply to everything from aircraft maintenance to cooking recipes. People could also use AR to learn new skills—imagine having a virtual coach beside you as you practice a sport, or a music teacher guiding your fingers on a guitar’s fretboard, all through a headset. Not only could AR help professionals learn faster, but it could also help everyday people navigate unfamiliar cities, identify plants, or translate foreign languages on the spot.
Yet, AR raises questions about privacy and control. Consider how Pokémon Go placed virtual creatures in real-world locations, sometimes causing people to crowd into sensitive or inappropriate areas. If AR becomes common, who decides which digital information appears where? What if people start placing unwanted or harmful messages all over public spaces? Another worry is facial recognition technology combined with AR glasses. Imagine walking down the street and instantly identifying strangers, learning their names, addresses, or even personal details without their permission. This could turn public life into a privacy nightmare. Laws, rules, and thoughtful design will be needed to ensure AR benefits society rather than causing chaos.
Despite these concerns, AR has enormous potential. It can bring museums to life, let students explore historical events in their own classrooms, and help doctors save lives with better guidance. AR could also help architects visualize new buildings in real settings before they’re built, or let car drivers see navigation hints right on the windshield. In the arts, creators could craft interactive stories layered over real landscapes. Like many emerging technologies, AR’s future depends on how we shape it with rules, creativity, and care. If we handle it responsibly, AR could lead to a world where knowledge, guidance, and entertainment blend seamlessly with everyday life. Soonish, we might all be walking through environments enriched by layers of helpful digital information.
Chapter 6: Editing Genes, Humanizing Pig Organs, and the Ethical Maze of Synthetic Biology.
Imagine stopping malaria—one of the deadliest diseases in human history—by editing the genes of mosquitoes so they can no longer carry the parasite. Or consider the possibility of raising pigs that have organs compatible with human bodies, ready to be transplanted to save lives. These scenarios might sound like wild fantasies, but they reflect the goals of synthetic biology. Scientists are learning how to rewrite the DNA of living organisms, making genetic changes that could fight diseases, produce more food, or create new materials. Tools like CRISPR-Cas9 act like molecular scissors, allowing us to cut and paste genetic code. The potential is enormous. We could eliminate certain genetic disorders, or engineer bacteria to clean up toxic spills. But tampering with life at such a basic level also raises huge moral and safety questions.
Synthetic biology isn’t just about editing existing species; it might also let us create entirely new life forms designed to solve specific problems. A scientist named Dr. J. Craig Venter created a simplified organism with a fully synthetic genome, a stepping stone toward fully customizable life. If we can design cells like tiny factories, they could churn out medicines, break down plastic waste, or produce biofuels. But what if these engineered organisms escape into the wild and cause unforeseen harm? Changing a gene in mosquitoes might help one region, but what if that change spreads and disrupts entire ecosystems?
Another challenge lies in deciding when and how to apply these tools to humans. If we can edit human embryos to remove disease-causing genes, should we also allow edits for traits like eye color, height, or intelligence? This begins to sound like designing humans, and many worry that it could lead to unfair advantages or a world where only the wealthy can afford genetic improvements. Also, what happens if we make a mistake and accidentally introduce a harmful trait? Because genetic changes can be passed down through generations, a single error might ripple through time, affecting countless future lives.
We need rules, guidelines, and international agreements on how to use these powerful tools responsibly. Scientists, governments, and communities must discuss the possible benefits and risks. Synthetic biology’s ability to rewrite the code of life could help end diseases, feed the hungry, and fix environmental problems, but we must balance our excitement with caution. We should also consider cultural, religious, and personal beliefs about what it means to alter nature. If handled with wisdom, synthetic biology could save millions of lives and greatly improve health worldwide. If managed poorly, it could create new problems, inequalities, or environmental disasters. The future of life itself is at a crossroads, and our choices today will shape the world we live in, soonish.
Chapter 7: Personalized Treatments, MicroRNA Clues, and the Dream of Precision Medicine.
Picture walking into a clinic where a small sample of your blood and a quick scan of your body instantly reveals all that’s going on inside you. The doctors immediately know which medicines are best for your unique biology, saving time, money, and lives. This is the idea behind precision medicine—healthcare tailored to the individual. Instead of guessing and trying different treatments, doctors would use biomarkers (tiny biological signals) to know exactly what’s making you sick and how to fix it. Understanding these signals could help diagnose diseases such as cancer, diabetes, or even mental health issues early on, increasing the chances of successful treatment.
Scientists have discovered molecules called microRNA, tiny pieces of genetic material that can reveal a lot about what’s happening inside our bodies. Different levels of microRNA might indicate the early stages of cancer or show how severe a disease is. By learning to read these signals like a secret code, doctors could give you treatments that target the problem at its source. Imagine never having to wait days or weeks for test results, or never being given a medicine that doesn’t work well for your genetic makeup. Precision medicine could mean fewer side effects, better outcomes, and more personalized healthcare.
This approach could also involve understanding each person’s metabolome, the unique combination of vitamins, sugars, and other molecules in your body. If doctors know your metabolome, they could recommend the perfect diet, exercise plan, and lifestyle habits for you. No more one-size-fits-all advice; instead, you’d have a roadmap to feeling your best. On top of that, analyzing patterns in how people talk, behave, or even post on social media might someday reveal early signs of mental health issues like depression. Early detection means early help, possibly preventing a small issue from growing into a big problem.
But there are obstacles. Collecting, storing, and understanding such massive amounts of personal medical data raises questions about privacy and who owns the information. Patients might worry about insurance companies using their genetic details against them, or hackers stealing health records. Doctors and scientists need better tools to interpret huge sets of data quickly and accurately. And while precision medicine could be a game-changer for wealthy nations, what about poorer countries that cannot afford such advanced technologies? Will it widen the healthcare gap? If we handle these challenges with care, precision medicine could mark a new era in healthcare—one that treats each patient as a complex individual rather than just another case. Soonish, a visit to the doctor might feel like stepping into a highly skilled detective’s office.
Chapter 8: Printing Human Organs, Bioink Recipes, and the Challenges of Bioprinting Life.
Think about all the people waiting for organ transplants—hearts, lungs, kidneys. Some wait too long and never get the life-saving surgery they need. Now, imagine if doctors could print a new organ using a specialized 3D printer. Instead of ink and paper, these printers use bioink—cells and other materials that form tissues. This technique, known as bioprinting, could create organs that perfectly match a patient’s body, reducing the risk of rejection. This might sound like a miracle solution, but printing a complex organ is incredibly challenging. Organs have many different cell types arranged in intricate patterns. The printers must lay down these cells precisely and keep them alive during the process.
A major hurdle is creating tiny blood vessels that deliver nutrients to every cell. Without proper blood flow, even a printed organ with the right cells in the right places would die. Scientists are experimenting with various methods, like using sugar-based molds that dissolve and leave behind delicate channels for blood to flow. They’re also testing different bioinks that respond well to certain light or temperature conditions. Gradually, we’re learning how to stack cells layer by layer, like building a complex biological skyscraper. Already, researchers have printed simpler body parts—such as cartilage, skin patches, and even an ear.
If bioprinting becomes reliable, it could revolutionize medicine. Patients might never have to wait for organ donors again. Injured soldiers could receive new tissues quickly on the battlefield. Pharmaceutical companies could test new drugs on printed human tissue rather than using animals or risking human volunteers in early trials. This could speed up the development of safer, more effective medicines. But the process is still in its early stages, and printing a fully functional heart or kidney remains a distant goal. Each advancement, however, brings us closer to a time when organ shortages are a thing of the past.
Of course, bioprinting raises ethical questions. If we can print organs, who gets them first, and at what cost? Will only the wealthy afford these treatments at the start? As the technology matures, we must ensure that it’s accessible to everyone, not just the privileged. Also, will we one day go beyond simply replacing organs and try to improve them? Could we print tissues that outperform natural human biology, creating a new kind of upgraded human? Balancing innovation with fairness and caution is crucial. Still, the potential of bioprinting to save lives and reduce suffering is enormous, and scientists are working hard to turn this vision into reality. Soonish, your new kidney might just roll off a 3D printer.
Chapter 9: Plugging into the Mind, Repairing Senses, and the Cautious Steps of Brain-Computer Interfaces.
In sci-fi stories, people sometimes plug devices directly into their brains and download new skills in minutes. While that might remain pure fiction, scientists are making real progress in connecting brains to computers for medical purposes. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) allow signals from the brain to control external devices. For people who are paralyzed, this can be life-changing: they might guide a robotic arm, type on a screen, or even drive a wheelchair just by thinking about it. Similarly, cochlear implants help deaf people hear by translating sounds into electrical signals that the brain understands. These miracles are still imperfect, but they represent enormous steps forward.
Scientists are also exploring ways to fix blindness by sending visual information directly into the brain, or to calm violent seizures by stimulating certain brain regions. Another approach is deep brain stimulation, where electrodes placed inside the brain deliver tiny pulses of electricity to correct abnormal signals. This can help patients with Parkinson’s disease, severe depression, or epilepsy. Some studies even suggest that carefully timed electrical signals might improve memory or learning. But these treatments are very delicate. They involve surgery, precise placement of electrodes, and detailed knowledge of brain function, which is still incomplete.
One major challenge is that the brain is extraordinarily complex and unique to each individual. No two brains are exactly alike. Figuring out where and how to send signals without causing harm is tough. Another challenge is that current methods are invasive, meaning they involve surgery. Many patients only undergo these procedures if they have no other choice. Scientists hope that future devices, possibly worn outside the head, might record brain activity and stimulate the brain without cutting into it. Still, we’re a long way from plugging a chip into your head and learning a new language overnight.
As we refine brain-computer interfaces, ethical questions arise. If we can influence brain activity, could someone misuse this technology to change people’s thoughts? Privacy concerns are huge—imagine if your private thoughts were somehow recorded. Balancing the life-changing benefits for patients with the risks of tinkering with the mind is complicated. But we have to try, because the potential is too great to ignore. Fixing damaged senses, helping people regain movement, easing severe depression—these are extraordinary achievements that give individuals a chance at a better life. Over time, safer, more effective BCIs might become standard medical tools. The future of how we treat the human brain is bright but uncertain, and with each experiment, we learn a little more. Soonish, the boundaries between mind and machine might blur in helpful, healing ways.
Chapter 10: Reflecting on Ethical Dilemmas, Unexpected Surprises, and Preparing for a Soonish World.
We have explored space elevators, fusion energy, programmable matter, 3D-printed buildings, augmented reality, synthetic biology, precision medicine, bioprinting, and brain-computer interfaces. Each of these technologies promises to transform our world, making life safer, healthier, or more convenient. But as we rush forward, we must also pause and think. What kind of future are we building? If we gain the power to alter DNA, build houses in a day, or place digital layers over reality, how do we ensure fairness, safety, and respect for human rights? As wonderful as these inventions sound, each could bring new problems. Balancing our excitement with careful judgment is crucial.
Throughout history, new technologies have changed the way we live, sometimes in ways no one predicted. The printing press spread knowledge, but also propaganda. The internet connected billions of people, but gave rise to privacy concerns and cyberattacks. The same pattern might hold true for these emerging technologies. Programmable matter could solve countless problems but might also create dangerous weapons. AR might enrich our daily lives with information, yet could erode our sense of privacy. Bioprinting could save patients but might eventually tempt us to design better humans. The challenge is not just building the gadgets—it’s deciding how to use them responsibly.
In the coming years, politicians, ethicists, scientists, and citizens will need to work together. We’ll need new laws and guidelines, as well as education to help people understand what these technologies mean. If we learn from past mistakes and think ahead, we can steer these powerful tools toward good outcomes. For example, strict rules could prevent the misuse of synthetic biology. Public discussions can ensure AR companies respect cultural sites and sacred places. Fair regulation of bioprinting could ensure that life-saving treatments aren’t only for the wealthy. Each step toward a soonish future calls for both courage and caution.
The greatest lesson might be this: we have an incredible opportunity to shape a future where technology uplifts humanity. By paying attention to ethics, transparency, and inclusion, we can use these breakthroughs to solve big problems—like climate change, disease, and poverty—without losing sight of our values. The future does not have to be a scary unknown. Instead, it can be something we create thoughtfully, with respect and care. Soonish, we might look up from our smart helmets or glance out of our 3D-printed window at a world where impossible dreams have become everyday realities. How we handle this transition, and whether we choose to guide these technologies wisely, will decide what kind of world we leave for the next generations.
