The stories in When Zero Died" aren't ordinary: They draw on some of the oldest, classic forms in storytelling -- allegory and myth -- to explore what it means to live a thoughtful, selfless life in a chaotic, selfish world. They blur the line between science and religion to show how deeply interconnected the world, and everything in it, really is. Full of sharp intelligence, humor, and pathos, the book will make you think about how perfectly ordered and designed the universe is, and will force you to re-consider how you live your own life.
