The Witnesses

Six literary science novels from the history of everything — the first light, a dying star, the first living cell, a keeper of fire, the record we threw at forever, and the question that grew between religion and science. Each is told in the first person by something that was there, and every fact inside the fiction is real.

studied from the masters — Calvino · Woolf · Morrison · McCarthy · Bradbury
