This book was very interesting and very helpful in understanding the state of physics and cosmology today as well as the path Hawking took scientifically. That being said, it committed almost every sin most science books are guilty of. It was extremely committed to the ideas of white men only and ignored the abhorrent behavior and views of many of the scientists it highlighted. It ended with a vague call to remain human in scientific and philosophical endeavors in order to create a reality we would want to visit which is poetic but ironic given the rest of the book.  The author could have also done just a fraction of research on disability theory… yikes.
