A journey through billions of years that nails home the point: Life is a miracle . . . A compelling history of everything
Eric Weiner, Washington Post
Rather like the Big Bang, the book is awe-inspiring . . . Superb
Gerard Degroot, The Times
Wonderful . . . This is a brief history of the universe, and an excellent one
David Wootton, Wall Street Journal
With fascinating ideas on every page and the page-turning energy of a good thriller, this is a landmark work
Sir Ken Robinson, author of The Element
I have long been a fan of David Christian. In Origin Story, he elegantly weaves evidence and insights from many scientific and historical disciplines into a single, accessible historical narrative
Bill Gates
Spectacular
Carlo Rovelli
