Robert L. Forward’s non-fiction draws on his career as a physicist to explain advanced science concepts for a general audience. Future Magic (1988) covers speculative but scientifically grounded technologies like space elevators, lightsails, and antimatter propulsion. Mirror Matter (1988) focuses specifically on antimatter, explaining what it is, how it might be produced in useful quantities, and what it could be used for.

Both books reflect the same mind that produced Forward’s hard science fiction: rigorous about the physics, but enthusiastic about the possibilities.
