Más información sobre el libro

It is natural to ponder the deep and nagging questions of existence and meaning; questions that have the power to flood a person with awe and wonder or angst and dread. Programmed into the DNA of Homo sapiens is a natural lust for knowledge and understanding; knowledge of how the world works, but also knowledge and understanding of our place in the universe and how we ought to live. 42 is the answer to these questions. The book is an amalgamation of contemporary thought on what it is to be human and how we ought to live as humans. It draws on the efforts and wisdom of all humanity to inform a comprehensive and coherent view of the world, from the origins of the universe, to life and death, and everything in between.
