Einstein in the Attic - Dargos, Dana

. .

Résumé :
Winner of the Literary Titan Award, Firebird Book Award, Maincrest Media Book Award, Best Book Award Finalist by The American Book Fest, and THREE honorable mentions at the prestigious New York, Hollywood, and San Francisco Book Festivals, Einstein in the Attic is the sci-fi of the year! A search for truth by those that transcend time. Set against the backdrop of the war between science and God, reason and faith, Einstein in the Attic is the story of one scientist's search for truth and meaning when faced with the ultimate question: Is there a God? Fleeing war-torn Lebanon, Adam Reemi's faith is shaken by the hardships he has endured, but when he and a colleague successfully construct a nano hadron collider, and using sound waves, Adam finds unheard-of power at his fingertips. To help him answer the greatest question mankind has ever posed, he zaps the best philosophical minds of all time-namely Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Soren Kierkegaard, and Baruch Spinoza-from the past and into his attic. Not all goes according to plan, however, and Adam finds himself in a race against time to formulate an answer to the question of intelligent design... or risk losing everything. Einstein in the Attic is a page-turning, thought-provoking, mind-bending sci-fi adventure...with more than a little charm and humor sprinkled in. It will appeal to lovers of intelligent science fiction that grapples with big questions, such as Story of Your Life by Ted Chiang, Embassytown by China Mieville, The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell, and Kindred by Octavia E. Butler.
