What do we owe the future?
SOMETHING begins before people existed and ends with the decisions only people can make. It moves through the questions most of us inherit answers to before we are old enough to challenge them: Where did everything come from? What can we actually know? Why do civilizations advance, collapse, and repeat themselves?
This is not a book asking you to accept another tidy explanation. It is an invitation to put your beliefs under pressure, follow the evidence farther than your comfort, and confront what greater knowledge demands from the people lucky enough to possess it.
