George and the Code That Can't Be Broken

"George and the Code That Can't Be Broken" is the fourth book about George's adventures in space, written by astrophysicist and brilliant science communicator Stephen Hawking and his daughter, science journalist Lucy Hawking. This cosmic epic has become hugely popular among children aged 7 to 12 worldwide not only because of its dizzying and witty plot but also due to the way scientific information is presented. Key concepts and laws of physics, the latest news in the field of space research, precise, clear formulations, and inspiring articles by scientists who are currently conducting relevant research—either in observatories or at CERN. And all of this is written in a language that is clear and interesting for younger schoolchildren. In the fourth book, George and Annie once again must perform incredible feats. During the summer holidays, they dream of new journeys into space. Meanwhile, incredible events unfold on Earth: ATMs spewing money, goods being given away for free, store shelves emptying, robberies, muggings, chaos. Television and radio broadcasts are interrupted by strange messages... What is happening? Has an unknown, super-powerful computer hacked all the other computers on the planet?! To save the world, George and Annie set out to meet the cosmic villain robots. For middle school age.
