The Ascension of Joseph Cutter

Joseph Cutter's day had been one of complete normality, a spinning of the Earth that had revealed nothing beyond all the ones that had preceded it. When he wakes to find himself thirty years in the past and confronted by a man who claims not to be human, his world is shaken apart, leaving nothing behind but a desire to find out the truth. Follow Joseph on a journey through both space and time, science-fiction and science-fact. Encounter the extremes of the Universe, the development of life on Earth, what it means to be human, and how lucky we are to exist.
