The many worlds of Hugh Everett III

This is the story of Hugh Everett III (1930-1982), whose 'many worlds' theory of multiple universes has had a profound impact on physics and philosophy. Using Everett's unpublished papers and dozens of interviews with his friends, colleagues, and surviving family members, Byrne paints a detailed portrait of the genius who invented an astonishing way of describing our complex universe from the inside.
