“This phenomenon of a book launches me with its wonder into space and the multiverse and then somehow discovers compassion where we might expect to find only absence of heat or light. Ben-Oni rides with and wrestles the horse of theory to the event horizon’s brink, and at the point that empirical proof can take her no further, love transmutes undoing into possibility unimagined.”
—Kyle Dargan
