Book Review: All over the place.
Summary: 4 Stars

First time I have read Mr. Pickover, but certainly not the last. This book covered a wide range of topics as is evident from the title. Marcel Proust is a recurring theme throughout this work and unifies so many of the topics. Where do I start to talk about what is inside? Well, again the title covers about everything in it. The scientific perspective is the real unifying factor throughout the book. If you think it is some hippie-like manifesto, forget it. It is something that could be featured more on PBS than A&E channel. If there is one criticism I have with the author, it is that he brings too much of himself and his hometown into the book. Read it and you will see what I mean. Good read though on some outlandish notions of our universe.
