'''''Programming the Universe''''' is a [[popular science]] book written by [[Seth Lloyd]], and first published in 2006. Giving a tour of how information has evolved from the earliest days of Man to how it is presented now, Lloyd provides an extension of the older laymans science book as he provides information that has been discovered recently via experiments. It gives an overview of thermodynamics and quantum mechanics, with the laymans surprise as he deals with the essential aspects of [[physics]] to explain his point of view.

The book's goal according to Lloyd is to "reveal the fundamental role that information plays in the universe ... By understanding how the universe computes, we can understand why it is complex."
