Product details

This app/book version of Hawking's famous layman's book is an amazing piece of learning. It makes the complex and fascinating topics discussed by Hawking much more accessible and understandable as he explains how our universe works. I am in awe of his creativity in producing such a unique e-book. The pace, illustrations, and connections of topics within the book are incredibly helpful and appropriate for the new generation accustomed to tweets and bite-sized information. You can explore various topics at your own pace, learn fascinating facts, and return later without any rush or concern about how quickly you are progressing through the book. I hope other books on complex topics are translated into this format. I also appreciate the updates on the latest science since the original book's publication. We have learned so much in the last decade, and I agree with Hawking that it is an honor to live in these times.
