Summary

Buckle up for an extraordinary ride through the 14 billion year history of absolutely everything!

Written and narrated by best-selling world history author Christopher Lloyd, this remarkable story (which is far more amazing than anything you can make up) sweeps through natural history with the creation of planet Earth, the beginning of life, the age of dinosaurs, mass extinctions, and the rise of prehistoric humans. 

The story then leaps through the ancient civilizations and into medieval times, where wars, revolutions, and scientific inventions reshape the world. Finally we arrive in the modern age which brings with it new challenges of pollution, climate change, viral pandemics, and much more. 

How will a world of 8 billion humans survive in the future? Ideal for all ages 7–107, this entertaining, fast-paced narrative history connects all the essential dots of the past with personality, humor, and flair.

Brilliant!

Thank you for the whistlestop tour of history. All ages enjoyed this one and the chronology was clear and concise.
Well thought out and researched. Read with a contagious enthusiasm that is well paced and easy to absorb.
I particularly enjoyed the end where he makes suggestions of what the future may be like, and highlights some of the areas he hasn't been able to include. He even asks for reader suggestions (and gives details of where to send them) for his next book (not yet written as of Dec 2022) of "Absolutely Everything Else".
Fantastic book and worth many listens.
