A Beautiful Question

Frank Wilczek asks: is the world a work of art? . . . One of the pleasures of reading a book like this is to be in the company of a top-drawer thinker who has strained every sinew to find new ways of describing the patterns in nature's underlying fabric

Graham Farmelo, Guardian

The first book I've read in which I've felt that almost vertiginous sensation of peering through layers of theories down to the true nature of the universe . . . Wilczek is admirably clear in his explanations

Lewis Dartnell, Daily Telegraph

Well argued, beautifully written, sophisticated and down to earth

Carlo Rovelli, Financial Times, Books of the Year

A beautiful treatise on a beautiful universe . . . you will never think about the universe the same way again

Lawrence Krauss
