Helpful Score: 3

An excellent summary of the state of contemporary physics. Technical enough to lose anyone who wants to do the homework on the topics, but still topical enough to get through for most. There is definitely a lot of discussion on the potential rifts between science and God, but Hawking stays ambiguous & agnostic enough to keep on topic. There is certainly a tendency to lean toward the scientific view of any scenario, but I think that is to be expected. This is certainly a must read for anyone who wants to understand the basics of contemporary physics, albeit a tad outdated at this point (if you insist on bleeding edge knowledge of course).
