Chronicle of the Future: In thousands years, in millions years, in billions years, in eternity?

Written in a Socratic style of questions and answers, Chronicle of the Future by M. Taube is a fiercely original text that blurs the boundaries of popular science. Over six hundred pages are filled with images, tables, graphs and sharp-witted banter between three distinct voices that the author calls The Time Traveler, Eve, and The Chronicler. Best described as a trialogue, this narrative is a robust and uncanny search for meaning and truth throughout time and otherness. In twelve chapters, the characters with the help of two-dozen famous writers and thinkers discuss the universe, its makeup, habits and mores to its very essence of meaning, especially in far future. They dissect what it means to exist as binary entities—part of all of the universe and individual—from elementary forces and particles to the human mind. Filled with candor, it is a hopeful treatise that discusses the very far future of the Earth, the biosphere, and all of mankind.
