The Beginning of Infinity: Explanations that Transform the World by David Deutsch
5.0
Every evil is due to a lack of knowledge.
Whenever I think I've read the most fascinating book I'll ever read, I am pleasantly surprised that another one is around the corner. And that's what this book is about: How there is no end to the universe's capacity to surprise and amaze us.
David Deutsch writes with incredible clarity about how he sees the future of human progress and tackles vast and complex subject matter in a way that makes it accessible to people who do not possess his deep knowledge and rare insight.
There are so many things I want to say about this book. About problems and explanations, about pessimism and optimism. But it would take up too much space and could only ever be a shadow on the wall of a cave. So I'll say only one thing: Read it.
