 "The best questions are the ones you can''t Google. Here is a whole book of them."
-Austin Kleon, author of Steal Like an Artist


"In a good question is the thread of an answer. A good question is better than a brilliant answer. I personally focus on the word ''quest'' in question, which is the essence of each interlocutory. Gregory Stock''s book is a seductive and delightful journey about the essence of conversations which is the question." -Richard Saul Wurman, creator of TED

"Capturing both future and present dilemmas, this deceptively simple book packs a real punch."
-Ray Kurzweil, author of How to Create a Mind and founder of Singularity University

"These questions can take you into critical examination of what you are doing in this life."
-Robert Thurman, professor of Buddhist studies, Columbia University

"Interesting questions! Some of the most bizarre ones may be everyday issues in our near future."
-Vernor Vinge, author of Marooned in Real Time

"Stock''s knack for wording a question in just the right way to provoke lively discussion is on full display again in this terrific new book. It''s fantastic!"
-Jeff Probst, host of Survivor and The Jeff Probst Show

"These questions will get you thinking about some of the things we can go through a lifetime avoiding; they''re deep questions, but then humans at our best and most real are deep people."
-Bill McKibben, author of Oil and Honey


"Don''t know what to do this weekend? Here is the answer: Pick up this book and drive your friends, loved ones, neighbors, and strangers crazy with smart, tough, interesting questions."
 - Juan Enriquez, TED speaker and coauthor of Homo Evolutis: Please Meet the Next Human Species


"The Book of Questions covers an enormous range of challenging issues with wit, insight, and brio."
-Arthur Caplan, Director of Medical Ethics Division, NYU Langone Medical Center

"In a world endlessly in search of answers, Greg Stock reminds us that what really matters are the questions."
-Seth Godin, author of The Icarus Deception


"Your answers to these questions will help us decide what humans should be. Take your time."
-Kevin Kelly, Senior Maverick at Wired and author of What Technology Wants


"When the original Book of Questions was published, it provoked hours of conversation and engagement among me and my friends. The new book is even better and should provide hours and hours of entertainment and enlightenment."
-Fareed Zakaria, author of The Post-American World


"Provocative, surefire conversation starters. Watch out; some of them will have you questioning old and comfy assumptions."
-David Brin, author of The Postman and The Transparent Society
