Review of 'Cosmic landscape' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

This is a fascinating book that manages to present some very abstract theories in a manner that is (largely) understandable. Susskind's writing is clear and and easy to follow and, while he is pushing his own view in this book, he is very transparent about this and his lines of reasoning are well laid out.

The Cosmic Landscape is a book that increases your understanding of the Universe and leaves you with much to think about.
