Overview
Los científicos nos prometieron coches voladores, turismo espacial y robots superinteligentes. Pero aunque vemos avances en todos esos campos cada día, la realidad es ligeramente distinta.
En este libro se habla de ese futuro prometido y de dónde estamos: del origen de internet, de los primeros ordenadores y hackers y de la carrera espacial, con explicaciones e ilustraciones fáciles de entender. Sin olvidar la importancia de la energía nuclear o el reto para la humanidad que suponen las cuestiones sobre privacidad en la red, la emergencia climática o las pandemias.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The world is full of scientific and technical aspects that seem to be taken right out of a science fiction universe. But ... was it supposed to be like that?
Scientists promised us flying cars, space tourism, and super-intelligent robots. But although we see progress in those fields every day, the reality is somewhat different.
This book discusses that once promised future and where we are today: the origin of the internet, the first computers and first hackers, and the space race, with easy-to-understand explanations and illustrations. The authors also discuss the importance of nuclear energy and the challenges that humanity faces today with issues like online privacy, a climate emergency, and global pandemics.
