Our First Series
What We Still Don't Know
A landmark popular-science series by Srijib Shankar Jha — four books that map the edge of human knowledge across cosmology, biology, consciousness, and the human story. Drawing on the latest discoveries in astrophysics, genetics, neuroscience, archaeology, and medicine, the series is written for the curious reader who wants to engage with the deepest questions science is currently asking. Each volume stands alone. Together, they form the most comprehensive popular account of what we know — and, far more importantly, what we don't.
Book I
Infinite & Unknown
The Universe We Can't Explain. From dark matter to the edge of the observable cosmos, a guide to the astrophysics that still resists a tidy answer.
Book II
Alive & Bewildered
The Mystery of Life in the Universe. Genetics, the origin of life, and the search for company in the dark, told without false certainty.
Book III
The Inner Cosmos
Consciousness, Mind, and the Mysteries Within. What neuroscience can explain about the mind — and the large territory it still can't.
Book IV
Ancient, Mortal & Wondering
History, Health, and the Human Story. Archaeology and medicine read side by side, on what our past reveals about our bodies.
