Summary

"What if the great discoveries of science came in the "wrong" order? If human scholars are to understand how AI interprets the universe, we will need to understand the scientific narrative in a "new order." Edwards provides this new order by placing thermodynamics in its proper place at the center of our scientific universe, just as AI is likely to do the same"-- Provided by publisher.
