Recenzii
"[Starred review] When contemplating the existence of God, how does one determine what questions to ask in order to find the most correct answers? While this may seem like a strange question for a science-fiction writer to pose, Hugo Award–winning Wilson proves himself to be just the person to tackle it. . . . He invites readers, whether theist or atheist, to question what they believe and why . . . encouraging readers to come to their own conclusions and, along the way, consider how and why they arrived at them." —Library Journal
"An absolutely first-rate book; I loved it. With this slim volume, Robert Charles Wilson brings gentle reasoning, good humor, and a healthy dose of humility to a field of discourse that’s hitherto been dominated by the sneering tomes of Richard Dawkins and other New Atheists. Wilson gently deconstructs the arguments of believers and builds his own positions with the deft hand of a logician and the questing spirit of a philosopher. For believers and nonbelievers alike, this is an amiable evening spent with one who approaches the ultimate questions with respect for those who hold differing opinions and discusses them with — dare I say it? — grace. A masterwork; highly recommended." —Robert Sawyer, Hugo Award–winning author of Calculating God.
