it was amazing

Beautiful and thought-provoking. It was short, so I thought I'd rip through it, but the content is so dense, I found myself reading much slower, taking breaks to digest and think about a concept, and reflecting a lot. Wonderful analogies, for example comparing the "live" matter in the universe to a few grains of sand in the Gobi desert. If you're interested in contemplating infinity, and nothingness, and the strange, rare, and special thing that life is, then this is the book for you.
