Humans are pattern-matching creatures, and astrology is our grandest pattern-matching game. In this ingenious work of history, data scientist Alexander Boxer examines a treasure trove of esoteric classical sources to expose the deep imaginative framework by which - for millennia - we made sense of our fates. Astrology, he argues, was the ancient world's most ambitious applied mathematics problem, a grand data-analysis enterprise sustained by some of history's most brilliant minds, from Ptolemy to al-Kindi to Kepler.

How many Carl Sagan fans know that while the renowned scientist was at Stanford University, he produced a controversial paper, funded by a NASA research grant, that concludes that ancient alien intervention may have sparked human civilization?

Pourquoi y a-t-il des atomes, des planètes et des humains plutôt que rien ? Comment pouvons-nous aimer, créer, croire, agir, penser... alors que notre cerveau est le fruit des lois déterministes de la physique ? La conscience est-elle apparue par la seule grâce du hasard ? Et si les étoiles sont appelées à terme à se consumer, les galaxies à se disperser et les trous noirs à s'évaporer comme l'a prédit Stephen Hawking, quel sens donner à notre existence ?
