Not getting around to Asimov until embarrassingly late means I've still got a lot to look forward to. I'd always simplistically characterised him as the robot guy, I had no idea he'd written one of the all-time time travel classics.

I found Bri's books on string theory and parallel universes fascinating as they soared over my head, though his book concerning the entirety of everything was a bit much. This latest one covers everything again and more, which is just getting silly.
