In 223 pages or just over 3.5 hours on audio book Tyson aims to break down all of space and time. No small feat, but he does a decent job of it.
It's short and filled with Tyson's biting wit. However, it is not Astrophysics for Dummies. It expects some basic knowledge of the subject matter and can require more focus than the title implies.
His ability to make the vast and unknowable cosmos understandable is remarkable. He even reads the audio book himself which is always a win for me. Tyson is truly a master at bringing the magic into science and reminding us all how awe inspiring it can be to stare up at the night sky.
