Seriously strange things start happening. Banks are handing out free money; supermarkets can't charge for their produce so people are getting free food; and aircraft are refusing to fly. It looks like the world's biggest and best computers have all been hacked. George and Annie will travel further into space than ever before in order to find out who is behind it.

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.
