Summary
The New Technology series is an exciting, up-to-date look at new technology and the effect it is having on the world. Each title looks forward to likely future technological advances that will affect our everyday lives. Today we are facing an energy crisis. We depend on machines, but the fuels they run on are poisoning our planet. As they run out, the cost of those fuels will also increase. But what fuels will we be using in the future? Will renewable sources of power really be able to replace fossil fuels? Will a solar satellite really be able to beam power down to Earth? Will we really develop a clean form of nuclear power? With developments in energy technology, ideas that sound like science fiction today could become reality tomorrow.
Chris Oxlade is the author and co-author of a wide range of titles, including Thomas the Tank Engine Manual and Macmillan Factual Readers: Flight , as well as the 100 Facts series and the Science Files series.
