    Not what I expected from the description
  

*by R***G on Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2019*

This "book" has one question per page in very large font size with who submitted it.  Thats it.  No discussion, no idea development, nada.  It could have been printed on a few pages in pamphlet form.  It should have been released on April 1st for us fools who expected more.  The only unanswered question I have is "Why did I buy this??"

    300+/- pages; 1 Quote per page
  

*by Y***H on Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2019*

I got the kindle. There are 334 pages - minus a few pages of author index is why I say 300 pages. Each page has one short quote, followed by author, and a third text block of a affiliation + recent book.Some easy questions:Jonathan Haidt's question is: Why is it so hard to find the truth? Because we are so biased! Why are we so biased?NICHOLAS A. CHRISTAKIS: Will some things about life, consciousness, and society necessarily remain unseen? Yes, duh!STANISLAS DEHAENE: Is our brain fundamentally limited in its ability to understand the external world? Yes. Somethings will only be grasped by metaphor.ANDY CLARK: Will we soon cease to care whether we are experiencing normal, augmented, or virtual reality? not I!!!and a trés au courant question:JERRY A. COYNE If science does in fact confirm that we lack free will, what are the implications for our notions of blame, punishment, reward, and moral responsibility?(P.S. Science has a hard time proving the negative.)

    This Isn’t a Book
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2019*

I expected this to be similar to other books Brockman has edited—brief chapters by people in a range of fields expounding on a topic of interest. But each chapter in this volume is simply a single question, many of which I have already pondered myself. Nothing more. Many of the questions are interesting, but without any further exposition the book is a waste of paper and not worth paying for. This would be better as a $2 Kindle single.
