For those fanatics who believe hyperspace travel is just years away...
For all those science maniacs who lose themselves in the quantum flux.

    Hard Science and Mysticism

    How about adding realistic science books (like hawking, penrose) or mystic interpretations (like Capra, Zukav) also to this group.. they are not really fiction.
    Do you guys read stuff like that?

    I liked the dancing wu li masters very much.

    I suggest the Holographic Universe by Talbot. He brings quantum events to everyday life much like Hopra does in Quantum Healing. With Talbot though, its a more studied and interesting read. I wrote Currently dead, www.currentlydead.com and included hard science in that and the feedback I got from readers was that some of the science was not believable even though it was real. -Bob Good

      no doubt, both are difficult and confusing reads, but i would definitely add the brief history of time (1988) and the Universe in a Nutshell to the lists!
