If anyone ever suggests to you that science and art (or philosophy) don't go together, give them this book! ''The Ghosts of Heaven'' presents four fabulous stories from different time frames linked by the natural constant of the spiral. The introduction provides a lyrical explanation of the birth of the universe, the Solar System and us and of the dimensional spiral we call the helix. It also explains that we can read the stories in any of the twenty-four possible orders we please.

Well. Um. There aren't any other books like this one, unless perhaps it's [[Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell]], so what should I suggest you read next? Let's look at the quarters. If pre-history interests you, Sally Prue [[Song Hunter by Sally Prue|has written]] about one of the encounters between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens that we now know took place. [[The Witching Hour by Elizabeth Laird]] is a fabulous story of witch-hunting and the persecution of the Covenanters in 1700s Scotland. [[The Dead Men Stood Together by Chris Priestley]] is a creepy, Gothic retelling of the Rime of the Ancient Mariner. And for some hardish sci-fi, you don't get better than [[WE by John Dickinson]].
