Dreams of Earth and Sky

“[Dyson] writes with detailed, admirable conviction.” —The New York Times Book Review   “Dyson [is], neuron for neuron, one of the most formidably provocative minds in American life...The bedazzled reader emerges feeling like he’s been in a metaphysical Maytag on spin cycle—his perspective on man, God, and the cosmos permanently altered.” —The Washington Post Book World   “To observe a mind uncommonly endowed with dexterity and knowledge hop from subject to subject is exhilarating.” —Time   Praise for Disturbing the Universe   “A passionate testament, one of the most remarkable self-portraits of a scientist that I have ever read...Though this book is meant primarily for non-scientists, to acquaint them with how a scientist looks at the world, one does not have to read far to realize that this is the witness, not of a scientist representing his class, but of a unique kind of scientist, a man endowed with literary skill, with a rare capacity for humor and introspection, with a sensitive understanding of the language of the humanist.” —The New Republic   Praise for The Sun, the Genome, and the Internet: Tools of Scientific Revolution   “A most engaging and important book, as accessible as it is profound.” —Oliver Sacks   “A thoughtful and thought-provoking glimpse into the twenty-first century...A must-read...Only Dyson could weave together this rich tapestry, blending ethics, ideology, science, and technology into a coherent vision of the future.” —Michio Kaku, author of Hyperspace and Visions: How Science Will Revolutionize the 21st Century
