Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the Tenth Dimension by Michio Kaku

4.0

A great book to gather all the information on the string theory and 10th dimension physics, and its relation to the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. The book isn't really for a general reader and requires some smattering of physics, but it is hardly the fault of the writer. The subject demands that knowledge, although Kaku tries hard to explain it through simplified pictures and anecdotes from sci-fi works. Coming to that, the extracts from great sci-fi novels, though giving a good opportunity to recall your reads or have a glimpse into their storyline, at places take away from the coherence and flow of the book. There are places where the narrative seems disjointed. Although it coalesces in the end, one feels that editing and flow would have been better.

But Michio Kaku is a scientist not a novelist, hence no blame to him. A recommended read if you are interested in the happenings in the field of theoretical physics but can't be bothered or are unsuited for the obscure journals.
