Broken Angels by Richard K. Morgan
Welcome back to the brash, brutal new world of the twenty-fifth century: where global politics isn't just for planet Earth …
Remarkable book. I've liked a lot of things that Brian Greene has written. He is a good writer, and this book is written extremely well and it is thought out. This book is determinedly to investigate not just the nature of time and our universe but introduces (at least to me) concepts that join astrophysics (physics really) and theories of mind. Along the way, he tackles the BIG questions and exposes new thoughts in physics (the cyclical universe vs the inflationary universe) and takes care to wonder on newer topics.
This is an informative book, but it will be a challenging read. One pleasant thing is the final 25% of the book are the author notes and bibliography for those inclined to continue to read on the subject or other subjects the author brings to this book.
