Über diesen Titel

 Read by Ben Whishaw and Garrick Hagon, with an afterword read by Lucy Hawking.

The world-famous cosmologist and #1 bestselling author of A Brief History of Time leaves us with his final thoughts on the universe's biggest questions in this brilliant posthumous work.

How did the universe begin? Will humanity survive on Earth? Is there intelligent life beyond our solar system? Could artificial intelligence ever outsmart us?

Throughout his extraordinary career, Stephen Hawking expanded our understanding of the universe and unravelled some of its greatest mysteries. But even as his theoretical work on black holes, imaginary time and multiple histories took his mind to the furthest reaches of space, Hawking always believed that science could also be used to fix the problems on our planet.

And now, as we face potentially catastrophic changes here on Earth - from climate change to dwindling natural resources to the threat of artificial super-intelligence - Stephen Hawking turns his attention to the most urgent issues for humankind.

Wide-ranging, intellectually stimulating, passionately argued, and infused with his characteristic humour, BRIEF ANSWERS TO THE BIG QUESTIONS, the final book from one of the greatest minds in history, is a personal view on the challenges we face as a human race, and where we, as a planet, are heading next.

A percentage of all royalties will go to charity.

Kritikerstimmen

A beautiful book from a brilliant mind
Almost everything in Brief Answers is effortlessly instructive, absorbing, up to the minute and - where it matters - witty
The best, most mind-bending sort of physics: black holes, time travel, the origins of the universe
It is that ultra-distinctive voice (modest, profound, sometimes very funny) that knits this book together

While the whole book is a lot of fun to read/listen - the last 20min of conclusion and afterword made me realize how great this man was.

Incredibly interesting to read

Even though intricate nuances of Physics is bit challenging for a business graduate finance geek, I throughly enjoyed this book and many of the big question discussion. The parts I couldn't grasp does not bother me much as I am way too grateful for the parts that I did understand. Highly recommend this book as worth every penny.

Mind boggling

The book “Brief answers to the big questions” is a brief overview of Mr. Stephen Hawkings’ work, it’s insightful for scientists and interested individuals, and written with an incredible sense of humor.

He’ll certainly inspire generations to come, and credits the teachers, that he says spark the interest for most breakthrough discoveries.

His advice in the end of the book is empowering and includes a touching afterword by his daughter.

What a blessed family. Or rather, what they chose to make of it.

I definitely recommend this book to read or hear - the audiobook version features his characteristic voice for some of the brief answers he gives to the big questions.

Brilliant, witty and heartfelt
