Nella nostra ricerca della verità, quanto siamo avanzati? Questa ricerca unicamente umana di buone spiegazioni ha portato a incredibili miglioramenti in tutto, dalla comprensione scientifica e dalla tecnologia alla politica, ai valori morali e al benessere umano. Ma il progresso finirà, in una catastrofe o nel completamento, o continuerà indefinitamente? In questo libro profondo e fondamentale, David Deutsch esplora i confini più remoti della nostra attuale comprensione, prendendo in considerazione l'Infinity Hotel, le supernovae e la natura dell'ottimismo, per instillare in tutti noi la meraviglia per ciò che abbiamo realizzato, e il fatto che questo è solo l'inizio delle infinite possibilità dell'umanità.
