Throughout his exceptional career, Stephen Hawking significantly advanced our comprehension of the cosmos and demystified some of its most profound enigmas. Even as his theoretical explorations of black holes, imaginary time, and multiple histories led his mind to the outermost reaches of space, Hawking consistently maintained that science could also be harnessed to address the challenges confronting our planet.
Now, confronted with potentially catastrophic changes on Earth—from climate change and dwindling natural resources to the perils of artificial super-intelligence—Stephen Hawking redirects his focus to the most pressing issues facing humanity.
Comprehensive in scope, intellectually stimulating, passionately argued, and sprinkled with his characteristic wit, “BRIEF ANSWERS TO THE BIG QUESTIONS,” the final opus from one of history’s greatest intellects, offers a personal perspective on the challenges that unite us as a human race and charts the trajectory of our planet’s future.”
