Abstract
"The world is in crisis. Every day geopolitical tensions and uncontrollable natural disasters threaten to destroy life as we know it, and for cosmologist Dr. Theodore Teddy Copeland, getting lost in his work seems to be the only reasonable stance to take as the planet drifts toward its long, ugly decline into oblivion. But after years of living hidden in the comforting nostalgia of the past, Copeland makes one last attempt to put his nihilism aside and act. Tapped to join a group of renowned scientists and engineers, including Dr. Nessa Newmar and Dr. Delbar Javari, Copeland finds himself in an underground facility called Perro Caliente. Through hard days and harder nights, Copeland and the others work tirelessly to save humanity from itself. And as their energy reaches a crescendo, it becomes clear that even if Teddy Copeland can redeem the world, he may not be able to save himself. By turns sobering and darkly comic, The Theory of Almost Everything is the perfect novel for our age of anxiety."--Page 4 of cover
