Inhaltsangabe:

The legendary computer science guru compares the universe to a giant quantum computer, arguing that all interactions between particles in the universe convey information as well as energy, a theory that he uses to trace the history and workings of the universe, from the Big Bang to the present day. 100,000 first printing.
