Brief Answers to the Big Questions by Stephen Hawking Book Summary

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The world-famous cosmologist and author of A Brief History of Time leaves us with his final thoughts on the biggest questions facing humankind.

“Hawking’s parting gift to humanity . . . a book every thinking person worried about humanity’s future should read.”—NPR

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Forbes • The Guardian • Wired

Stephen Hawking was the most renowned scientist since Einstein, known both for his groundbreaking work in physics and cosmology and for his mischievous sense of humor. He educated millions of readers about the origins of the universe and the nature of black holes, and inspired millions more by defying a terrifying early prognosis of ALS, which originally gave him only two years to live. In later life he could communicate only by using a few facial muscles, but he continued to advance his field and serve as a revered voice on social and humanitarian issues.

Hawking not only unraveled some of the universe’s greatest mysteries but also believed science plays a critical role in fixing problems here on Earth. Now, as we face immense challenges on our planet—including climate change, the threat of nuclear war, and the development of artificial intelligence—he turns his attention to the most urgent issues facing us.

Will humanity survive? Should we colonize space? Does God exist? ​​These are just a few of the questions Hawking addresses in this wide-ranging, passionately argued final book from one of the greatest minds in history.

Featuring a foreword by Eddie Redmayne, who won an Oscar playing Stephen Hawking, an introduction by Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne, and an afterword from Hawking’s daughter, Lucy, Brief Answers to the Big Questions is a brilliant last message to the world.

Insanely inspiring and wildly explorative. Stephen Hawkins enables the everyday human to journey along side him as he explores the biggest questions posed by humanity. What a treat he left behind during his last year of life. This book is life changing and a must read.

Bigger image of Life&Space. One of the best books I have ever read. I can’t stop reading it every night every time I went to bed. Really it effects my daily thinking routine. You well rethink in many different things in your life.

Great read. Well written.

An Illuminating book. I admire Stephen Hawking. His concise answers really opens your mind of what we can spect in the future. I recommend the book to people that love science

Fantastic book, concise, fascinating and funny.. Expectations are high with a book by the phenomenal Stephen Hawking. But even with High Hopes, this book turns out to be a hilarious (in parts), smart, and deep treatise on the physics and history of the universe, humans and other topics. Enjoy.

Great. Really enjoyed this book even if I didn’t agree with all of their points.

ANSWERS TO THE BIG QUESTIONS. It is a rare experience to read information in a book, that is new and fresh. I read a lot of non-fiction books for learning and find most of the information is something I already know, but every once in a while I find a gem of new insight and creative thought. STEVEN HAWKING has never disappointed me.
