Why Does the World Exist?: An Existential Detective Story by Jim Holt

4.0

Good, despite the digressions.

This book is exhaustive, but in its attempt to be so, it's also somewhat exhausting. The author digresses and meanders, offering personal tidbits along the way. All in all, a good if somewhat dry read that perhaps at 100 pages shorter could have been 5 stars.
