Description
In this candid and concise memoir, a renowned physicist traces his journey from an unconventional childhood and formative university years to a groundbreaking career exploring black holes, the origins of time, and the evolution of the universe. He reflects with remarkable directness on the diagnosis of motor neuron disease in his early twenties, the changing nature of his body, and the determination that allowed his intellectual life to flourish despite profound physical limitations. Alongside scientific discovery, he considers love, marriage, family, and the personal costs of illness, offering an intimate portrait that is both matter-of-fact and deeply revealing. Brief in length but expansive in perspective, the book combines personal recollection with the distinctive clarity, wit, and curiosity that marked its author's public voice.
