An exquisite picture book of outer space. āSan Diego Union Tribune
Ā ā2001: A Space Odyssey and Far Out: A Space-Time Chronicle: both are inspirational moving pictures. Far Out punches deep into space, like a series of jump cuts. It is a truly cinematic experience to see these magnificent images in rapid succession. Like the Star-Child in Stanley Kubrickās vision of a Mankind evolving to a higher level, Far Out inspires me again to imagine a Universe filled with life, and each of those billions of pinpoints being orbited by worlds and beings of breathtaking beauty. Very moving pictures.ā

āThe inventive, imaginative Michael Benson here unfolds the universe in its multiple dimensions.ā

Ā
āThat the images in Michael Bensonās latest book, Far Out, are completely mind-blowing goes without saying. Whatās especially dazzling about this volume, though, is the way Bensonās text takes the shards of those blown minds and completely reconfigures them into such a startlingly new and fresh awareness: a trembling awe all its own.ā

āFirst he gave us the beauty of our solar systemās neighbor worlds in Beyond: Visions of the Interplanetary Probes, but Michael Benson hasnāt stopped there. In this spectacular new offering he gives us the universe itself, presented in such stunning and vivid detail that I am awed by every page. Open this book, take the journey, and be amazed.ā
