The Holographic Universe; Leonard Susskind -James Lindesay- By: Jim McKenzie, 27 Jul 2006 It's a really great little book. I got half-way through & realized I wasn't understanding the mathematics involved. I was not surprised by this as I am an artist with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.I have had little opportunity to learn the terms & concepts involved. So I stopped reading this book & read Roger Penrose's "Road to Reality". It is an excellent book from which I was able to learn about the mathematics, & a whole lot more. I then read Susskind's Holographic Universe without much trouble, understanding quite well what he is getting at. I would rate it as "terribly interesting".
