Synopsis "George and the Unbreakable Code (George's Secret Key)"

George and Annie are off on another cosmic adventure to figure out why strange things are happening on Earth in the fourth book of the George's Secret Key series from Stephen and Lucy Hawking. George and his best friend Annie haven't had any space adventures for a while and they're missing the excitement. But not for long, because seriously strange things have started happening. Banks are handing out free money, supermarkets aren't able to charge for their products so people are getting free food, and aircrafts are refusing to fly. It looks like the world's biggest and best computers have all been hacked. And no one knows why... It's up to George and Annie to travel further into space than ever before in order to find out what--or who--is behind it.

He held, until 2009, the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics once held by Newton at the University of Cambridge, and was awarded the Prince of Asturias Award for Concord in 1989. Universally recognized as one of the greatest theoretical physicists in the world, Professor Hawking has written, despite his severe physical limitations, dozens of articles that together represent a contribution to science that we are still not able to properly assess. His first popular science book, A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes (Critica, 1988) and The Universe in a Nutshell (Critica, 2002), are followed by A Briefer History of Time—written with Leonard Mlodinow—and the anthologies On the Shoulders of Giants: The Great Works of Physics and Astronomy (Critica 2003), the illustrated edition of the latter (Critica 2004), God Created the Numbers: The Mathematical Discoveries that Changed History (Critica 2006) and The Grand Design: The Great Works of Albert Einstein (Critica, 2008)
