About this title

Synopsis:

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.

Review:

"Lloyd is one of the gurus of quantum and information theory, and in this accessible book he presents an insightful new perspective on the cosmos." (Sir Matin Rees. University of Cambridge)

"What an astonishing book! Lloyd is at the forefront of a revolution." (Kevin Kelly, Editor-at-Large, "Wired")

"Lloyd thinks he has found a new way to explain one of the most basic questions in science: Why is the world so complex? . . . Fascinating and profoundly comforting. . . . Seth Lloyd certainly gives his readers a lot of bang for their buck." (The New York Times Book Review)

"Renowned for his innovative conflation of pure physics and computation, Lloyd is well positioned to hack his way into space-time and come back with answers." (Seed)
