It is through man’s involvement that the universe becomes conscious of itself. The universe created life and, in an astounding feat of circularity, it is life, principally the human being, that then brought the universe into existence and a creator into possibility. Alternatively, is the universe only an illusion, an aberration of nothingness? Science, philosophy, religion and mysticism all offer different propositions. Ashvin Desai interweaves the different streams of reasoning to produce a meticulously researched, closely argued and thought-provoking work, tracing the history of the universe.
