The Beginning of Infinity

In our search for truth, how far have we advanced? This book explores the furthest reaches of our understanding, taking in the Infinity Hotel, supernovae and the nature of optimism, to instill in us a wonder at what we have achieved - and the fact that this is only the beginning of humanity's infinite possibility.

Experience the thrill of the highest level of discourse available on this planet ... This is the great Life, the Universe and Everything book for our time

Bold ... profound ... provocative and persuasive.

Science has never had an advocate quite like David Deutsch. He is a computational physicist on a par with his touchstones Alan Turing and Richard Feynman, and also a philosopher in the line of his greatest hero, Karl Popper. His arguments are so clear that to read him is to experience the thrill of the highest level of discourse available on this planet and to understand it.

This is Deutsch at his most ambitious, seeking to understand the implications of our scientific explanations of the world ... I enthusiastically recommend this rich, wide-ranging and elegantly written exposition of the unique insights of one of our most original intellectuals.

David Deutsch...may well go down in history as one of the great scientists of our age.

Born in Haifa, Israel, David Deutsch was educated at Cambridge and Oxford universities.
