Review

This joyous book is a smile between covers, a feast of ingenuity and an incitement to genuinely think. So if you know anyone that either likes thinking or needs to think, give them this book. -- Sir Tim Smit Stevenson is an excellent storyteller ... fascinating. * The Times * Inspirational. The book works so well because Stevenson gets out there to see things for himself. * Daily Mail * An ability to express even the most complex scientific problems in terms easily understood by a layperson. * Sydney Morning Herald * Stevenson wears no blindfold. His tools are curiosity, open-mindedness, clarity and reason. That makes his journey intriguing... and ultimately exhilarating. * TED.com * Stevenson's engaging commentary has the ability to restore your faith in human ingenuity in the face of adversity * Geographical magazine * Not just a great read, but a really important one too. * Atlas of the Future * Stevenson is one of those rare visionaries who fascinates and entertains in equal measure. Do not be surprised if he becomes a household name in the not-too-distant future. * London Literature Festival * Stevenson writes with enormous warmth and humour. * Cory Doctorow * By the end of this exhilarating page-turner my faith had been restored. * EcoHustler * From the reviews of An Optimist's Tour of the Future: 'A rollicking roller-coaster ride around the cutting edge of science with dozens of laugh-out-loud moments * Scotsman * Stevenson puts the trends of tomorrow's world into perspective with a quizzical, fast-paced, quick-witted tour of the scientific horizon * The Times * Certainly one of the most interesting science books I've read for a long time * New Statesman * A grand tour of charismatic technologies and their prophets ... Stevenson bags an impressive list of interviewees * Financial Times * Essential ... illuminating and refreshingly hopeful ... an auspicious yet grounded vision * The Atlantic *
