The complete story of the universe and absolutely everything in it (minus the boring parts).
"If only Adam Rutherford and Hannah Fry were on tap to all of us, all the time: we could turn to them whenever we wanted delicious explanations, narratives, and theories to make sense of the material world. But we do have this deeply addictive book as a companion. The pair have such a gift for making life, numbers, and the forces at work in the universe all the richer, stranger, funnier, and more marvelous."
"Like the universe itself, this book is multifaceted, surprising, and full of wonders. It’s also funny, wise, and exceedingly brainy. You really owe it to yourself to read it."
"A wonderfully engaging blend of wit, enthusiasm, clarity, and knowledge."
"The illustrations are truly excellent."
"Compelling popular science with an ambitious underlying theme."
"[T]eeming with curious facts and interesting anecdotes....The science is detailed and comprehensive in this fun and fascinating read."
"[A]n informative and entertaining look into the science behind everyday phenomena and questions….Their writing is clever and personable, and they incorporate immersive stories of culture, art, and rudimentary science to explain seemingly complex topics…in consumable morsels."
Adam Rutherford is the author of A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived. He lives in London, UK. Hannah Fry is the author of Hello World. With Adam Rutherford, she hosts the BBC Radio 4 show The Curious Cases of Rutherford & Fry. She lives in London.
