A bit disappointed by this one. First book in the serie was great, this is edging on boring with entire sections very didactic aiming at a public of which unfortunately I'm not part as I already know all that. I really got the impression that there is next to no plot and that the whole book is a pretext to explain certain stuff. mmmm come on Cory, you can do better than that!!!

One of the few books I re-read. It didn't seem as fantastic as the first time, probably because you can only have the "ha ha" moment once. Still very nice and enjoyable book - even if I have to disagree with the author. For example he says: "The passage of time is obvious to us all: our thoughts and our speech exist in time; the very structure of our language requires time – a thing ‘is’ or ‘was’ or ‘will be’. " Nope. It is if you speak italian or english. I can think of several languages where this does not exist, I even speak some of them :-) But all in all still a very enjoyable book as long as he stays in his area of expertise, ie physics :-) definitely worth a read. Pretty short book too, s it is a collection of articles originally published in a newspaper.
