Educational submitted by Xris on August 22, 2018, 5:13pm I decided to read it after I got word that he had died. A little tough to get through, since I don't have a physics background. I enjoyed reading his perspective, but didn't realize there would be so much about God in it. (I enjoyed Neil deGrasse Tyson's better).

Hawking wrote this for the general public

But, even as a science major and amateur astronomer, I found much of it unreadable. He seems to be making stuff up it's so unreal and not understandable. Not really recommended for anybody who isn't a serious physics or astronomy major.
