Why Do We Exist?Why Do We Exist?

"The universe gave rise to everything: stars and cells, minds and memories, purpose and pain. But it doesn't care about us. It follows its own rules. And now, according to Dr. Hakeem Oluseyi, we finally understand enough about those rules to ask the big questions like we mean it: Why do we exist? Are we alone? How did we get here? What comes next? And--perhaps most urgently--is there reason to hope? ... The story of existence can be told as a passage through nine interwoven realms--each revealing a new layer of cosmic truth"--Flap page 1 of dust jacket.
