The Beginning of Infinity: Explanations That Transform the World by David Deutsch

5.0

---

A sometimes difficult book that helps to explain how science works, and why it does. My favourite chapter is an ancient Greek philosopher having a conversation with a god, because this is where most of the difficult concepts fall into place, and because it reads a bit like Terry Pratchet :P The rest of the book is heavy philosophical reasoning, with each chapter building on what has been explained in the previous.
