After Stephen Hawking claimed that everything disappears in the reality-eating expanse of a black hole, Leonard Susskind made it his mission to determine the truth. What resulted is chronicled in 'The Black Hole War,' a race to the mind-boggling conclusion that our universe is actually a hologram projected from the edge of space.
