Is Wil Wheaton truly evil?

The answers to your most pressing questions about THE BIG BANG THEORY and its goofy geniuses can be found inside THE BIG BANG THEORY AND PHILOSOPHY. Packed with irresistibly geek-worthy insights on your favourite characters, storylines, and ideas, this book examines important themes involving ethics and virtue, science, semotics, religion, and the human condition. It brings the thinking of some of the world's greatest philosophers to bear on key aspects of the show, from Aristtle and Plato to Nietzche, Wittgenstein, Simone de Beauvoir, and others. You might find other philosophy books on science and cosmology, but only this one refers to Darth Vader Force-chokes, cloning Leonard Nimoy, and oompa-loompa-like engineers. Essential reading for every fan of THE BIG BANG THEORY, this book explores whether comic book-wielding geeks can lead the good life, and whether they can know enough science to "tear the mask off nature and stare at the face of God." Bazinga!
