Playful and enchanting. Priyamvada Natarajan,Wall Street Journal

Could there be a civilization on a mote of dust? How much of your fate have you made?Using pleasingly paradoxical vignettes, known as Koans, that follow the ancient Zen tradition and have a flair for explaining complex science, physicist Anthony Aguirre tackles cosmic questions from the meaning of quantum theory and the nature of time to the origin of multiple universes.
