"How can I persuade every intelligent person to read this important and elegant book? He talks about all kinds of things; the why of the pain of human childbirth - the reasons for sleeping and dreaming - chimpanzees taught to communicate in deaf and dumb language - the definition of death - cloning - computers - intelligent life on other planets - FASCINATING - DELIGHTFUL!" Boston Globe review

A classic from one of the worlds greatest thinkers!
A little dated, but fascinating. And most of his predictions are on the mark. Really makes you think about the rest of his ideas.
The book is true to its title. Those who enjoy science will enjoy this book.
