The book is a very technical list of issues, it begins with information, showing that it’s a concept based in physical properties, information it’s not something ethereal. It relates information with thermodynamics, and wastes a bid deal of energy trying to demonstrate that information is even more fundamental, more real than concepts like temperature, space or time.

It explains briefly relativity and quantum theory with the purpose of once again showing that information science fits perfectly in these theories. The end of the book is a digression about universes, parallel universes, multi universes, black-holes and you need a strong willpower to keep your eyes on it.

I don´t think the book it´s for the general public, neither I think that specialists are going to like it. It falls into the middle, non-specialist like me get frustrated because even that the first chapters are well explained you get completely lost when entanglement, universes and black-holes enter into the game. But I suppose that someone with a larger background into the matter would find the book too superficial.

The most valuable knowledge I’ve learned in the book has been about entanglement and coherence, how nature pries and aborts superposition states. Let’s put the book in a shelf to sleep forever.
