Synopsis

From Jaime Smith, author of Stardust and Foxtrot, comes a new collection of essays that draw from his background in astronomy, psychology and the humanities. Expanding on essays in Stardust, Smith delves more deeply into physics, biology, philosophy, religion, human behaviour and aesthetics. Running through all the essays is a focus on the nature of timepast, present, and future. Drawing from history and psychology, Smith presents the writings and research of scholars in their fields as he explores where humanity might be going from here.
