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.

##补标，对于对这些问题有基本认识的读者来说还是嫌太简略
评分##我对有毕生热爱的人永远都抱有好感，谁能拒绝一个心里装着的是整个宇宙的人呢？不过编辑们有点偷懒了，很多主题翻来覆去地在不同问题里出现，导致阅读体验并不好。
评分##脚踏实地与仰望星空。大师也会写排比句。
评分##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##R4 read by Anton Lesser & Lucy Hawking
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。
评分##Q&A in a theoretical level. Good for outsiders but lame for peers
