My favorite exploration of the possible future technologies is from a 1990 book:

Great Mambo Chicken and the Transhuman Condition by Ed Regis

It includes a great section on space travel and space living.

Very interesting book.

This is potentially great news. The funny thing is that the first thing that crossed my mind is a book I read many years ago: Great Mambo Chicken and the Transhuman Condition.
