SOONISH
Zach Weinersmith Kelly Weinersmith
Ten Emerging Technologies That'll Improve and/ or Ruin Everything
"In SOONISH, we consider 25 technological developments that may dramatically shape the next 25 years. By the time you finish the book, you'll understand the basic notion of a bunch of technologies that'll shape the world in your lifetime.
You'll also get a bunch of weird information, like did you know that one time the US tried using HBombs to dig canals. Short version: It didn't go super great. Or, did you know that divers sometimes breathe a mixture of neon and oxygen? Short version: It's AWESOME.
We expect the book to run to approximately 250 pages, at about 2500-3000 words per chapter, with each chapter having a bonus section of about 500 words. There will also be a number of short comics and an occasional diagram when a concept is best illustrated visually." (from the proposal)
Zach Weinersmith is the founder, brain and artist behind Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal - a very popular web comic that explores all sorts of topics with a smart, funny voice. His work has been featured in The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, io9, NPR, the Freakonomics Blog, Entertainment Weekly, Mother Jones, CNN, Discovery Magazine and more. Zach's last two books were launched on Kickstarter and raised over $700,000 combined in 30 days each. His most recent book is the most funded children's book ever on Kickstarter. SMBC is read by 12 million people every month (about 35.000 from Germany). Approximately 70 million people have read SMBC since 2010. SMBC's facebook group has over 350,000 followers.
The book will be co-written with Zach's wife, (doctor) Kelly Weinersmith who is on the Faculty in the BioSciences Department at Rice University in Texas. Kelly has been identified as an up-and-comer by popular science media such as BuzzFeed and The New Scientist and she will be conducting interviews with experts in various fields for the book.
