Kaku, a theoretical physicist, author, and co-founder of string field theory, collects the best American science writing published in 2012 in journals, magazines, and newspapers. The 22 articles have been selected because they have a "takeaway factor," provide deep insight into the human condition and people's place in the universe, are engaging, and have a point of view. They relate to the body, the environment, space, the universe, and the limits of science in relation to religion and societal issues, covering topics such as fighting cancer at the molecular and genetic level, infant exposure to x-rays, aging, the nature of the teenage brain, the link between biology and crime, the limits of intelligence and technology, quantum computers, the end of the Space Shuttle program, space tourism, the discovery of extra-solar planets, the Higgs particle, the concept of a multiverse, atheism, and mental illness.
