If you were a kid would you want Christopher Lloyd to be your teacher?

Would you want Doc Brown, the nutty inventor from Back To The Future, to explain science and stuff to you?

Would you want Uncle Fester from the Addams Family to share with you his lightbulb moments?

Yes. Yes you would.

Absolutely Everything!: A History of Earth, Dinosaurs, Rulers, Robots and Other Things Too Numerous to Mention is a book by Christopher Lloyd.

The audiobook is narrated by Christopher Lloyd himself and is every bit as wonderful as you’d expect. Utterly delightful from start to finish.

Funny, bold, and brilliantly written, Absolutely Everything! is a celebration of the scientific method.

Author Christopher Lloyd explores the most pressing questions of science including: “Why are we here?” “What is the meaning of life?” and “Are we alone in the universe?”

The book’s lively text and whimsical artwork provide a unique approach to these topics making it accessible to both children and adults.

Absolutely Everything! is an exciting journey through big ideas that will appeal to anyone with an interest in what makes our world tick.

Describing himself as an experimental philosopher, Lloyd says one of his goals for writing this book was to help readers understand that science is not about memorizing facts or blindly following authority but rather about creative thinking.

He puts this idea into practice by using everyday language to explain complex scientific principles in a fun and easy-to-understand way.

The book also provides a fascinating look at how popular culture has shaped our understanding of science.

Absolutely Everything! covers everything from the myths of ancient civilizations that tried to explain natural phenomena to the modern myths perpetuated by Hollywood films like The Day After Tomorrow and Armageddon.
