During its forty year lifespan, string theory has always had the
power to divide, being called both a 'theory of everything' and a
'theory of nothing'. Critics have even questioned whether it
qualifies as a scientific theory at all. This book adopts an
objective stance, standing back from the question of the truth or
falsity of string theory and instead focusing on how it came to be
and how it came to occupy its present position in physics. An
unexpectedly rich history is revealed, with deep connections to our
most well-established physical theories. Fully self-contained and
written in a lively fashion, the book will appeal to a wide variety
of readers from novice to specialist.
