The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality by Brian Greene
4.0
This book is hard to rate. If I'm rating it as a textbook then I give it 4.5 stars. There is a lot of information packed into these 500 pages. It's dense and informative reading.
Since the book functions well as a textbook, I'm not really sure if I enjoyed my reading experience. This book is not pop science and it is not written for entertainment. When I finally hit the back cover, I felt both achievement and relief.
I sped through the first sections of the book because they presented ideas I recognized. Later parts of the book were very technical and/or conceptual and I struggled to understand. If you want an advanced survey of issues relating to space, time, and the texture of reality, then you could do worse then this book.
