Ever wondered what had to happen for you to be alive and conscious?
Was our existence inevitable at the universe’s birth 13.77 billion years ago—or are we just incredibly lucky?
Aimed at readers who are interested in science but are not experts, the narrative begins by describing how scientists discover facts before taking the reader on a journey from the Big Bang to the creation of the human genome.
Covering physics, astronomy, chemistry, earth sciences, the emergence of life, evolution, consciousness, the rise of humanity, and how our personalities are molded by genes, chance, and the environment, the journey explains how the universe started as a point of intense energy that over time, in our corner of the universe, resulted in our wonderful planet—and in you.
Review Quote
"Achieves something almost impossible, lucid explanation without dumbing down. I would defy any scientist not to read this and learn something. For those with no science beyond the stuff at school which you hated, the author hated school too and has you covered. You can read this for fun and accidentally you will know as much general science as any Professor." —James H. Naismith, head of the mathematical, physical, and life sciences division and professor of structural biology, Oxford
