I just read the preface so far, but like other Smolin books it's about the boundery between reality and fantasy within the scientific community, in this case regarding quantum mechanics I think..He is not against this or other theories (his expose on snare theory was interesting), but he gives his thoughts of the reality of it. He is like the guardian of the scientific method

Every now and then I dare to disagree with the man, but since he's infinitely smarter than me, he's also a reminder of my own questionable opinions

I'll need to finish my Owen Chadwick book first (very nice and interesting read), I always read the preface of my next book to motivate myself to hurry & finish the one i'm reading

Very interesting topic, the boundary between reality and fantasy. Often in my own research, I had to remind myself to strictly keep to the facts and not letting the hypothesis taking over! Will definitely order the book. Thanks for sharing it!

Almost halfway through Voices from Chernobyl. Sadness that will make your stomach hurt in this one.
