In this book, Marcelo Gleiser argues that there is no grand plan, cosmic blueprint or overarching explanation for our existence. He takes us to the first moments of creation, where an imbalance produced more matter than anti-matter - the birth of the physical universe.
He explains the role of imperfection in the formation of galaxies and planets and in the origin of life itself. And his enquiries go beyond science: if there is no 'guiding principle' behind creation, then what is the nature and role of intelligent life?
