BOOK REVIEW: THE MIND'S SKY: HUMAN INTELLIGENCE IN A COSMIC CONTEXT (1992) * * (2 stars out of 4).
External link:
This book by Timothy Ferris is exactly the book I would write if I wrote a book. So why should I read it? It meanders from one scientific or philosophical topic to another, without breaking any new ground or drawing any real conclusions. While I'm sure it was at the cutting-edge at the time it was written, it is now terribly out of date. Still it is interesting and a real page turner, even if it left me a little unfulfilled.
This is The Official Record.
