**WINNER OF THE 2020 NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS** The Road to Reality
is the most important and ambitious work of science for a
generation. It provides nothing less than a comprehensive account
of the physical universe and the essentials of its underlying
mathematical theory. It assumes no particular specialist knowledge
on the part of the reader, so that, for example, the early chapters
give us the vital mathematical background to the physical theories
explored later in the book. Roger Penrose's purpose is to describe
as clearly as possible our present understanding of the universe
and to convey a feeling for its deep beauty and philosophical
implications, as well as its intricate logical interconnections.
The Road to Reality is rarely less than challenging, but the book
is leavened by vivid descriptive passages, as well as hundreds of
hand-drawn diagrams. In a single work of colossal scope one of the
world's greatest scientists has given us a complete and unrivalled
guide to the glories of the universe that we all inhabit. 'Roger
Penrose is the most important physicist to work in relativity
theory except for Einstein. He is one of the very few people I've
met in my life who, without reservation, I call a genius' Lee
Smolin
