“ *This Will Change Everything* offers seemingly radical but actually feasible ideas with the potential to change the world.”—Jared Diamond, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of *Guns, Germs, and Steel*

Editor John Brockman continues in the same vein as his popular compilations *What Are You Optimistic About* and *What Have You Changed Your Mind About* with *This Will Change Every* thing. Brockman asks 150 intellectual superstars “what game-changing scientific ideas and developments do you expect to live to see?” Their fascinating responses are collected here, from bestselling author of *Atonement* Ian McEwan to Nobel Prize-winning physicist Frank Wilczek to electronic music pioneer Brian Eno to writer, actor, director, and activist Alan Alda.
