Author(s): Michael Frayn

NZ non-fiction

What would the universe be like if human beings were not here to observe it? Would there still be numbers, or scientific laws? Would the universe even be vast, without our tininess to give it scale? The author of award-winning novels (such as "Spies"), plays ("Copenhagen" and "Noises Off") and films ("Clockwise") here produces his first work of non-fiction, one which explores all of the ideas behind his brilliant, funny and hugely popular work. First published 2006.
