    The Sleepwalkers: A History of Man's Changing Vision of the Universe is a 1959 book
    by Arthur Koestler. It traces the history of Western cosmology from
    ancient Mesopotamia to Isaac Newton. He suggests that discoveries in science arise
    through a process akin to sleepwalking. Not that they arise by chance, but rather that
    scientists are neither fully aware of what guides their research, nor are they fully aware of
    the implications of what they discover.
