馃敪Stephen Hawking's popular books, in the order to read them
his own estate's site groups these together. skipping the George kids' books and the pure math/physics texts, this is just the popular-science shelf, publication order
01
A Brief History of Time (1988)
start here, it's the one everyone means when they say they've read Hawking
02
Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays (1993)
03
The Universe in a Nutshell (2001)
04
A Briefer History of Time (2005)
co-written with Leonard Mlodinow, a rewrite of the first book with the dense chapters cut, skip it if you already read the original
05
The Grand Design (2010)
also with Mlodinow, the 'philosophy is dead' one, still argued about. worth the math, the multiverse chapter is the one people quote
06
My Brief History (2013)
short autobiography, read this one for the ALS diagnosis and Cambridge years, not for physics
07
Brief Answers to the Big Questions (2018)
published after he died, assembled from his papers and talks, the last chapter is about AI
