This is the epic story of the universe and our place in it, from 13.8 billion years ago to the remote future

How did we get from the Big Bang to today's staggering complexity, in which seven billion humans are connected into networks powerful enough to transform the planet? And why, in comparison, are our closest primate relatives reduced to near-extinction?

Big History creator David Christian gives the answers in a mind-expanding cosmological detective story told on the grandest possible scale. He traces how, during eight key thresholds, the right conditions have allowed new forms of complexity to arise, from stars to galaxies, Earth to homo sapiens, agriculture to fossil fuels. This last mega-innovation gave us an energy bonanza that brought huge benefits to mankind, yet also threatens to shake apart everything we have created.

This global origin story is one that we could only begin to tell recently, thanks to the underlying unity of modern knowledge. Panoramic in scope and thrillingly told, Origin Story reveals what we learn about human existence when we consider it from a universal scale.

故事怎么开头决定了故事讲述者的世界观。把时间的起点设定在何处,是一门技艺,即便是模糊的“从前”背后也设定了一种观念:或许是真的,或许不是,判断权在听故事的你。所以故事是在传达一种共同的信仰。 今天的中学生都已经知道的常识“宇宙大爆炸”其实是半个世纪前才确立下...

这本书对于我的意义,是对这个广袤无边的复杂世界有个覆盖时空的框架性的认识。从世界的起源到生命的初始,从银河到更遥不可及的星际,人与人、国与国、民族与民族等等边界都变得微不足道到无需提及,是一本帮你带上高倍望远镜遥望远古与未来的书。

前半部分生词比较多,后面到人文就好多了。内容没啥,用来练英语不错,看中文就不值得了。
