Big dreamers always win.Felix Baumgartner

Five Key Takeaways

• The book explores the possibility of creating a modern-day Iron Man suit, examining current technologies and scientific innovations that could make it feasible.
• Companies mentioned in the book, such as Cyberdyne, are developing robot suits and exoskeletons that allow users to move with greater mobility and control.
• There are examples of technologies that can read brain signals and control machines on behalf of the user, but they are imperfect and require extensive training.
• Creating a suit like Iron Man’s would require an estimated 40 years of research, given the current state of the art, and possibly even longer with the obstacles that may have to be overcome.
• A key aspect of the technologies discussed in the book is the need for a clean, limitless energy source, like the arc reactor in Iron Man’s story.
