Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos by Michio KakuMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a fascinating book to start me on my journey learning about string theory and cosmology. I got quite a lot of ideas for not only current writing projects but future ones. Kaku-san does such a good job of bringing together cosmology, quantum physics, theology, morality and ethics, environmental issues, and more. Towards the end it got a bit overwhelming, but I worked through and took diligent notes. I don't know that I agree with Kaku-san's belief that we are living in the most desirable time for humanity, but I do agree that we are on the cusp of achieving something really big - or loosing it all. If you're interested in getting a "bigger picture" look at where we are (as of 2005), I highly recommend this read. You won't be disappointed.
