Description
Drawing on nearly two decades of collaboration and friendship, this intimate portrait presents Stephen Hawking as both a groundbreaking physicist and a complex, deeply human individual. It follows his extraordinary life, his work with colleagues and family, and the daily realities of living with severe disability, while placing his achievements in the broader history of cosmology. Alongside the personal story, the book offers an accessible introduction to ideas surrounding black holes, quantum physics, and the search for a theory of everything. Warm, candid, and often humorous, it replaces simple hero worship with a nuanced account of Hawking’s genius, determination, relationships, and contradictions.
