Infinite in All Directions, with a new introduction by the author, is a classic and a rare treat of polished prose-a combination of scientific knowledge and a mediation on the human condition through the windows of science and religion. Freeman Dyson is a distinguished scientist, lecturer, and writer, arms control expert, a theoretical physicist and one of the most formidably provocative minds in America. In celebrating the diversity of our world and ourselves, Dyson explores a rich range of subjects from the origins of life and the prospects of immortality to nuclear weapons and the frontiers of space.
