Detailed item info

Synopsis
Through conversations with the great scientist and philosophers of our age, John Horgan takes us on an odyssey to the limits of the most vital theories of science, theories of the human mind and artificial minds, of the beginning and end of the universe, of complexity and chaos, of the ultimate questions and their fateful answers.
Industry reviews
"John Horgan's gift is to persuade leading scientists to pour out their hearts to him, and then to think deeply and learnedly about their confessions - especially fearful intimations of the end of the great quest. This is a hugely entertaining book, certain to create controversy." Catalog - Edward O. Wilson "Thanks to Mr. Horgan's smooth prose style (he is a staff writer for 'Scientific American'), puckish sense of humor and wicked eye for detail, these encounters make for zesty reading." Wall Street Journal - Jim Holt "Mr. Horgan has a strong grasp of a broad spectrum of disciplines, and one of the best things about 'The End of Science' is that it is a wonderfully concise introduction to the greatest scientific hits of the last 15 or 20 years." New York Times Book Review - Natalie Angier (06/30/1996) "In this wonderful, provocative book, John Horgan a senior science writer at 'Scientific American', argues that the game is nearing the end." Washington Post Book World - Robert L. Parker (08/11/1996) "A hugely entertaining book, certain to create controversy." Wilson "John Horgan buttonholes the most interesting scientists on the planet--and he listens, he argues, he thinks. He has an exceedingly accurate instinct for the side of science that isn't published in journals or taught in schools, and it's a privilege to be able to follow along as he peers behind the curtain."
