具体描述
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.
用户评价
##就书本身来说，不错。要把专业领域内的事情讲清楚又要避免太多“令外行走神的”细节确实不是一件容易的事。书写得不错，趣味好读，直白，有关怀。就我本身的进程来说，仅是想要纪念一下在这段时间里看到的本专业之光(cut down focus range)，人生主旨之光，以及，逐渐通过行动，建立对自己行事的信任。解开了青少年来的本质死结。好像也是一个自然而然的过程。不是说不愉快;)
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##前半部分涉及较多宇宙科学没太懂 可再读
评分##R4 read by Anton Lesser & Lucy Hawking
评分##总结下霍金此书中与超人类主义相关的个人观点：自然进化太慢，是时候搞搞基因编辑了，碳基生命太脆弱，或许人工智能才是最后的赢家。
评分##朗读者小本。
评分##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##Q&A in a theoretical level. Good for outsiders but lame for peers
