Brian Greene's 'Until the End of Time' book review

- Read this book as an audiobook over several sittings; quite a long read.
- Definitely not light or relaxing intellectually. Very dense with top-notch research material and airtight argument.
- Greene is highly readable as an author. He simplifies and clarifies greatly. He is a master at clear communication of deep scientific knowledge. Writes amazing narratives too!
- Point about needing to tell the story at different layers of abstraction of reality was to-the-point. So perfect!
- Topics covered include the origin of Universe to life, intelligence, and consciousness. Binds these beads with tight thread of consciousness.
- He's a physical realist, functionalist but insists that reductionism does not get us anywhere with understanding.
- The final chapters about the futures of cosmic continuity were especially engaging.
- Would recommend to anybody with even a passing interest in science topics.
- 9/10 stars; this is as good science writing as it gets!
