The Accidental Universe: The World You Thought You Knew by Alan Lightman

4.0

---

The crossroads of physics, philosophy, and spirituality is succinctly explored in this short compendium. The writing is crisp but also appears intentionally high-level to offer the readers a broad-strokes view of how these three disciplines intersect. It raises some interesting questions and offers answers that are still being debated upon (and would be, for a foreseable future, it appears). For someone curious about existentialism, I found this book a good avenue to ponder upon deeper questions.
