"Basically, I think this book is a masterpiece, and something I wish I'd written myself."

"Space elevators, gold asteroids, and fusion-powered toasters - who knew science could be so much fun? And who knew fun could be so scientific? 'Soonish' is hilarious, provocative, and shamelessly informative."

"Kelly and Zach promised me a crystal ball, but what I got is both more insightful and far more entertaining than staring into a dumb glass orb. Soonish will make you laugh and -- without you even realizing it -- give you insight into the most ambitious technological feats of our time. You should read this book, sooner than soonish."

By setting their sights on the immediate frontier rather than the distant future or the recent past Kelly and Zach have managed to write a non-fictional page-turner that is as fascinating as it is hilarious. "Soonish" is a story about human potential at a time when too many doubt it, and will make you feel smarter and unusually hopeful for what's about to come. "Soonish" is both the book for the lover of the pop-science medium who's been waiting for the genre to achieve its highest potential, as well the one that can win over the pop-sci cynic bored by the latest reprint of Chicken Soup for the Bachelor of Science's soul.
