On May 25, 1977, a problem-plagued, budget-straining, independent science-fiction film opened in a mere 32 American movie theatres. Conceived, written, and directed by a little-known filmmaker named George Lucas, Star Wars reinvented the cinematic landscape, ushering in a new way for movies to be made, marketed, and merchandised. Simply put, George Lucas is one of the most influential filmmakers of the past 50 years.

Regarded as a masterpiece today, 2001: A Space Odyssey received mixed reviews. Despite the success of Dr. Strangelove, director Stanley Kubrick wasn't yet recognized as a great filmmaker, and 2001 was radically innovative, with little dialogue and no strong central character. Author Michael Benson explains how 2001 was made, telling the story primarily through the two people most responsible for the film, Kubrick and science fiction legend Arthur C. Clarke. Benson interviewed Clarke many times, and has also spoken at length with Kubrick's widow, Christiane.

Alexander was born into the royal family of Macedonia, the kingdom that would soon rule over Greece. Tutored as a boy by Aristotle, Alexander had an inquisitive mind that would serve him well when he faced formidable obstacles during his military campaigns. Shortly after taking command of the army, he launched an invasion of the Persian Empire, and continued his conquests as far south as the deserts of Egypt and as far east as the mountains of present-day Pakistan and the plains of India.

The science fiction genre has become increasingly influential in mainstream popular culture, evolving into one of the most engaging storytelling tools we use to think about technology and consider the shape of the future. Along the way, it has also become one of the major lenses we use to explore important philosophical questions. The origins of science fiction are most often thought to trace to Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein, a story born from a night of spooky tale-telling by the fireside that explores scientific, moral, and ethical questions that were of great concern in the 19th century - and that continue to resonate today.

Levitt and co-author Stephen J. Dubner show that economics is, at root, the study of incentives: how people get what they want, or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing. In Freakonomics, they explore the hidden side of...well, everything. The inner working of a crack gang...the truth about real-estate agents...the secrets of the Klu Klux Klan. What unites all these stories is a belief that the modern world is even more intriguing than we think. All it takes is a new way of looking, and Freakonomics will redefine the way we view the modern world.

Humans have been asking these questions forever, but science hasn't succeeded in providing many answers - until now. In The Grand Biocentric Design, Robert Lanza, one of Time magazine's "100 Most Influential People", is joined by theoretical physicist Matej Pavšic and astronomer Bob Berman to shed light on the big picture that has long eluded philosophers and scientists alike.

Publisher's Summary
Interstellar, from acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan, takes us on a fantastic voyage far beyond our solar system. Yet in The Science of Interstellar, Kip Thorne, the physicist who assisted Nolan on the scientific aspects of Interstellar, shows us that the movie's jaw-dropping events and stunning, never-before-attempted visuals are grounded in real science. Thorne shares his experiences working as the science adviser on the film and then moves on to the science itself.
In chapters on wormholes, black holes, interstellar travel, and much more, Thorne's scientific insights-many of them triggered during the actual scripting and shooting of Interstellar - describe the physical laws that govern our universe and the truly astounding phenomena that those laws make possible.

Cela explique le comment
Le livre apporte de bonne clarifications sur certaines phénomène dont parle le film, certains défiaient simplement la connaissance et le background scientifique. Ainsi le livre permet de faire la différence, entre ce qui a été dramatisé pour le cinéma, et comment d'autres sont une pure vérité scientifique ... connu jusqu’à maintenant.
Certains concept sont assez complexe et nécessiterons d'un bon lecteur passionnée d'aller chercher et en apprendre d'avantage.
Le film en soit est un bon film mais le livre le rendre encore plus intéressant et nous donne une bonne idée de sa construction d'un point de vue scientifique. #Audible1

If you get passed the constant name-dropping and lack of images ....
This book was very in depth and technical for a person who is not a physicist. I had a difficult time understanding some of the physics and equations and had to listen to those parts a few times over before grasping them.
Also! And this is the fault of the audiobook, the companion pdf didn’t include all pictures or diagrams that the author refers to. He often refers to images from the movie but they are not in the accompanying pdf! When I found excerpts of the printed book they are in there! Since the printed book is quite visual I would have expected the accompanying pdf to also include the same images. I was quite disappointed with that.
The narrator was pretty good and did the best he possibly could, given this was a difficult book to follow easily.
On a side note: I found the author liked to toot his own horn quite a bit which is understandable since he did discover many of the scientific themes used in the movie. He also really likes to name-drop but I guess if Stephen Hawking was my best friend I’d do the same!
I finished the book and was left wanting more! Some of the more difficult things he could have repeated or reiterated to help highlight them better. But he also really got my mental juices flowing. Unfortunately I also had to resort to google often throughout listening as I didn’t fully understand his explanations of some concepts.
I would say to definitely give it a try!! Once you understand the science it’s fascinating :)

Insightful look into a great film
I enjoyed the breakdown of various astrophysical and scientific concepts in the movie. Learning more about what was based on scientific truths, speculation, educated guesses, and where some creative liberties were taken for the sake of storytelling, I gained a deeper appreciation for the film and how much background work went into it.
However, I was not aware that this audiobook had an accompanying .pdf companion that is referenced often, so trying to visualize concepts discussed in the book were difficult without the visual aids.

Book is awesome, Audible is no help with the PDF
As others have mentioned, the PDF companion is referred to throughout the book and is a must have, but Audible doesn't have it posted and when I contacted their support they were less than helpful. Their answer is simply that "we don't have it". BUT there is a silver lining, you can get it by emailing "customerservice@tantor.com", which begs the question why doesn't Audible simply do that and post it instead of giving their customers the runaround? Instead of me having to do a google search to find another source.

The movie is based on Science fact
What did you love best about The Science of Interstellar?
Even without having a background in science, when I watched Interstellar, based on what little I know, I knew that they were trying to keep it scientifically plausible, even the many of the things we are not able to do yet, and may not know as 100% truth yet. The thing that I loved about this book is that I was able to know what parts of the movie were actually "science fact," and there was actually more of that than I thought there would be.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Science of Interstellar?
Learning that not only speed and movement slow down time, but also that gravity slows down time was something that I did not know. The explanation of how gravity works has bugged me since I was a kid, learning about Newton's falling apple, and then I was just confused by Einstein's theories.
Which scene was your favorite?
Talking about the genius of Einstein and how his theories couldn't even be tested when he came out with those theories, but they were RIGHT. They have been tested, and it is really a unique universe that we live in, that has attributes that we never really imagined, but the movie tries to convey.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
It's all based on real science!
Any additional comments?
It's important to download the pdf file to get a good understanding of what the author is talking about. I couldn't download it, but sent an email to customerservice@tantor.com and they sent it to me by email. I listened again after getting the pdf, and the concepts were that much easier to understand

Interstellar if my absolute favorite movie of all time. This book painstakingly went over every bit of science in the movie and then some. It may seem a bit daunting at first, but as long as you download the pdf companion (trust me you need it), the science all comes together. Fyi- I "listened" to this book.
Thank you Kip Thorne for all you did to make this movie and book happen.

Very enjoyable for a science nerd
This was a great book for anyone who watches sci-fi movies and asks themselves "can and how would that really work"
The book doesn't pull any punches when it gets down to some of the more bizarre aspects of relativity and quantum gravity, but he does a great job of explaining the basics in a way that non - physicists can rasp.
The PDF companion is a must have, as the book references it frequently. It appears that audible and Tantor have fixed the distribution problem. there are simple instructions and a password included for accessing the companion at the start of the book.

Great book, Kip Thorne did an excellent job, but beware the audiobook didn’t come w the pdf for his theories explained on paper. This would have helped tremendously

Extremely interesting and helpful!
I didn’t know any of the story behind how Kip Thorne was involved, it was really interesting.
Interstellar is my favorite movie of all time and space too. Ha. It was a giant synchronicity that it directly reflects the concepts in my book. The Textbook of the Universe the Genetic Ascent to God. In my book, I show how the universe works like this movie. Therefore it was learning about their interpretation of that message also that would make the book interesting to anyone. Meaning of life stuff.
