This series should be read in order.
Take a rollercoaster ride through the vastness of space and discover the mysteries of physics, science and the Universe with George, his new friends next door – the scientist Eric and his daughter, Annie – and a super-intelligent computer called Cosmos. Cosmos can take them to the edge of a black hole and back again . . . Or can it?
And, who else would like to get their hands on Cosmos?
A funny and hugely informative romp through space, time and the Universe from the most eminent theoretical physicist since Albert Einstein.
