All the Troubles of the World

"The world is not devoid of order. The sun rises every morning. People grow older, not younger. An effect always follows a cause. There is order in the fabric of the world."

Why do we breathe? Why is there money? Why did life invent gender? Why is something more dominant than nothing? How does the brain work? How did we, who are nothing more than a descendant of advanced monkeys - with a third of our DNA in common with fungal DNA - become rulers of the earth? Would it surprise you to hear that the people living on the ground floor aged later than those on the upper floors, or that the fundamental turning point in the history of civilization was the moment we started cooking food? What about the possibility that the universe surrounding us is just a giant hologram?

Marcus Chown, who has gained a well-deserved reputation for his ability to explain complex issues in a language that is understandable to us ordinary people, this time is embarking on a big task: to understand and explain everything that affects life. Everything from capitalism to the theory of relativity, from thermodynamics to social dynamics, from sex to the origin of life...

All the Troubles of the World is a journey between galaxies, civilizations and species that a curious mind takes to understand how things work in the world. And the next seat is reserved for you.
