The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking, Leonard Mlodinow

The Grand Design is an authoritative look at Science's evolving understanding of the Universe--and the mystery at its center the authors identify as "God." While the exposition is good (one of the best descriptions of the warping of space-time and Feynman's theories I've found), I felt their conclusion was unsatisfying. M-theory--String Theory plus 1 dimension--may have fewer infinities and dead ends, but I didn't catch the definitive "magic bullet" that proves it, unless I'm willing to adopt the connections to a "Game of Life" computer simulation.
