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
*Independent*
Bold ... profound ... provocative and persuasive.
*The Economist*
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.
*The Independent*
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.
*Times Higher Education Supplement*
David Deutsch...may well go down in history as one of the great
scientists of our age.
*The Scotsman*
