Even though the story of this novella is approximately 1% of the show's story, it sets up an interesting parallel for bizarre questions with half-way answers, as many many of the episodes of the show have. Anyway, it's a very different book for King and I like that. ...more

It took me a while to read this one because I was continuously researching people and theories that were mentioned and not expanded upon. Kaku gives a lot of great information for people who love Sci-Fi and wonder about how possible ___ thing might be, but doesn't do a lot more than skim the surface of a lot of things. I will be delving more deeply into certain subjects, but this was a fun introduction. Recommended for someone whose interest in theoretical physics (like mine) is just blooming.
