En este libro singular que tiene como norte la capacidad de esclarecimiento del método científico, Peter Atkins se asoma a las grandes cuestiones de la existencia, esas que angustian a la humanidad desde el principio de los tiempos y que son tradicional caldo de cultivo del pensamiento mítico y religioso, así como de aquello que se da en llamar difusamente "espiritualidad". Con firme voluntad de desterrar la ignorancia conservando el asombro, el conocido científico y divulgador nos ofrece un texto de impecable lucidez sobre la naturaleza de la vida y la muerte, de los inicios y los finales, que ha sido alabado por figuras de la talla de Richard Dawkins o Philip Pullman, quien ha dicho de é «Presenta una visión de la vida y de la muerte, de la materia, el espacio y el tiempo franca y coherente, así como libre de milagros, salvo por el milagro vivo y absolutamente material que constituyen la ciencia y el método científico».
