About this title: With wit, charm, and brilliance, this epic work sets out to make sense of our place in the scheme of things. Surveying the spectrum of philosophical concerns from the existence of space and time to relativity and language, Frayn attempts to resolve what he calls "the oldest mystery": the world is what we make of it.

"Finally finished the epic tome...am I a different and better person as a result? Well, I would say yes. Ol' Mike Frayn is a master analogist. Everything from number theory, Russian poetry, religion, food; it's covered in here. It can be a dense read at times, and the author is essentially plying us with one paradoxical example after the other, but that's his whole point: the paradox is at the heart of both philosophy and human consciousness, and that is what this dude is all about contemplating. It is energetic and intellectually curious."
