About The Book

Advance Praise. What a treasure house is this book! Robots space aliens Einstein black holes time travel--these themes and much more from Stephen Kings amazing books are opened up like toy chests. Its tremendous fun entirely educational and a great tribute to King.--Peter Straub. A fun fun read.--F. Paul Wilson. The Science of Stephen King appeals to both the scientist and the longtimereader of Stephen King in me. Gresh and Weinberg use concepts from Kings fiction as launching pads for in-depth explorations of concepts as diverse as ESP pyrokinesis time travel artificial intelligence quantum chemistry alternate realities string theory and the possibility that well be visited by aliens or that well face a global pandemic. Much of what Stephen King writes about in his novels is closer to reality than you might think.--Bev Vincent Ph.D. author of The Road to the Dark Tower. A superb overview of Kings use of scientific concepts in his stories. And considering all the scary talk lately about pandemic flu their chapter on The Stand is timely as hell.--Stephen Spignesi author of The Complete Stephen King Encyclopedia. Just as Sagan and Asimov popularized science to the masses by making itentertaining and informative so too do Gresh and Weinberg.Compulsively readable and thought-provoking.--George Beahm author of The Stephen King Companion
