Hawking’s best seller, ‘A Brief History of Time’ has been a landmark volume in scientific writing. Though undoubtedly enhanced by a sympathetic public to his physical disability, the sales figures of this book was astronomical. This new book, written along with Leonard Mlodinow, is to make its content more accessible to readers, as well as to update it with latest findings. An impressive book with slightly pompous ideas about God and the idea of creation, particularly since Physics has not reached that level of certainty regarding the origin of the universe. (Not that the creation theory is any more valid than the flat earth theory)
Overall rating: 5/5
