The world-famous cosmologist and #1 bestselling author of A Brief History of Time leaves us with his final thoughts on the biggest questions facing humankind.
Stephen Hawking was the most renowned scientist since Einstein, known both for his groundbreaking work in physics and cosmology and for his mischievous sense of humor. He educated millions of readers about the origins of the universe and the nature of black holes, and inspired millions more by defying a terrifying early prognosis of ALS, which originally gave him only two years to live. In later life he could communicate only by using a few facial muscles, but he continued to advance his field and serve as a revered voice on social and humanitarian issues.
Hawking not only unraveled some of the universe’s greatest mysteries but also believed science plays a critical role in fixing problems here on Earth. Now, as we face immense challenges on our planet—including climate change, the threat of nuclear war, and the development of artificial intelligence—he turns his attention to the most urgent issues facing us.
Will humanity survive? Should we colonize space? Does God exist? These are just a few of the questions Hawking addresses in this wide-ranging, passionately argued final book from one of the greatest minds in history.
Featuring a foreword by Eddie Redmayne, who won an Oscar playing Stephen Hawking, an introduction by Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne, and an afterword from Hawking’s daughter, Lucy, Brief Answers to the Big Questions is a brilliant last message to the world.

有一类知识，读的时候很过瘾，开脑洞，但很难复述，而且很快也就忘记了。有那么一阵子，对时间、宇宙、黑洞、量子这类科普很着迷，看见了这类书就买回来看，似乎想搞清楚一点什么。现在我有了读这类书的方法 —— 看不懂的，就直接跳过；似懂非懂的，给一个自我确认的答案。不...

As if I'm reading the Torvalds' book all over again - another kind of geniuses; different paths from known to unknown; glossing over the hardships; and the same kind of dry humor.
评分十个大问题的简易回答。大部分和霍金以往的作品纪录片电影有重叠，可以当霍金个人人生总结看。对上帝存在这种问题的思考也没有逃出奥卡姆剃刀的范畴，其他也多泛泛而谈。不过书里一些小讽刺比较有趣。霍金在历经了世界发展后，也疑惑当今世界是怎么了，英国脱欧、特朗普上台、科研削减。但是他还是保持了作为科学主义者的乐观，所以在弥留之际依然宣传着科学文化(这或许是他对世界最大的贡献），写出此书，继续呼吁培养公民的基本科学素养。当然他也警惕着人工智能被滥用、地球毁灭这些大问题。霍金同样看好脑机接口的前景，另外基于复杂性，霍金对未来持进步观，认为科学发展不会停滞或完成。霍金带着未获诺贝尔奖的遗憾，对科技的迷恋完成了他的遗作。
评分人人都该读的一本书，霍金的远见真是常人不可及的。未来人类的发展主要是寻找地球以外的生存地以及引导AI的发展方向。每次提到Trump就觉得好笑。最后说要尽可能寻找下一个Einstein，wherever she might be. 这个she看到也觉得真暖。
