SynopsisThe Galactic Human Empire was built atop four sciences: logic, physics, psychology, and sociology. Standing on those pillars, humans spent 100,000 years spreading out into the galaxy: warring, exploring, partying -- the usual. Then there was the fifth science. And that killed the empire stone dead. The Fifth Science is a collection of 12 stories, beginning at the start of the Galactic Human Empire and following right through to its final days. We'll see some untypical things along the way, meet some untypical folk: galactic lighthouses from the distant future, alien tombs from the distant past, murderers, emperors, archaeologists and drunks; mad mathematicians attempting to wake the universe itself up.And when humans have fallen back into savagery, when the secrets of space folding and perfect wisdom are forgotten, we'll attend the empire's deathbed, hold its hand as it goes. Unfortunately that may well only be the beginning.

Great Scifi, it will be a classic someday.
I've been reading Scifi for more than 50 years and seldom do I find something that I can't put down until it's finished. Every free moment was spent in this book. The writing is clear without spots that have to be reread to understand. The concepts are sound.The characters are alive in their Universe. The Philosophies are agreeable. I will be buying several more copies to give as presents to friends and relatives that like Scifi.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Definitely recommended
It got here super super quick! Big fan of exurb1a’s channel and their book is on par with the level of existential crisis similarly seen in all their videos. Also a really compelling sci-fi book!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
