Experience the thrill of the highest level of discourse available on this planet ... This is the great Life, the Universe and Everything book for our time Independent Bold ... profound ... provocative and persuasive. The Economist Science has never had an advocate quite like David Deutsch. He is a computational physicist on a par with his touchstones Alan Turing and Richard Feynman, and also a philosopher in the line of his greatest hero, Karl Popper. His arguments are so clear that to read him is to experience the thrill of the highest level of discourse available on this planet and to understand it. -- Peter Forbes The Independent This is Deutsch at his most ambitious, seeking to understand the implications of our scientific explanations of the world ... I enthusiastically recommend this rich, wide-ranging and elegantly written exposition of the unique insights of one of our most original intellectuals. -- Michael Berry Times Higher Education Supplement David Deutsch...may well go down in history as one of the great scientists of our age. -- Andrew Crumey The Scotsman
