Summary: Disappointing.
Comment: This is not an easy book, although the author says that it was written for the layman.
It treats very interesting scientific problems, like the body/mind duality, Schrödinger's cat, self-consciousness, freedom and space/time.

But the author didn't give me any solution. On the contrary, he tends to make the problems more complicated.

I cannot recommend this book. Readers interested in the above mentioned items should turn to other authors like Brian Greene, Daniel C. Dennett, Paul Davies or John Gribbin, to name a few.

Summary: the real story of QM
Comment: this is the best book written on the philosophical implications of quantum mechanics. in 100 years, these ideas will have made it into the popular culture. it's a difficult read, and while it does not assume that much pre-knowledge, it is quite heady. but if that's what you want, this is the best one out there.

Summary: An ingenious answer
Comment: This is a far ranging book with a very original point of view. No one can doubt Michael Lockwood's extensive command of a variety of scientific and philosophical disciplines and he protrays his subject matter in a clear and compelling manner. He attempts a bold answer to the traditional philosophical problem of the nature of mind. Although speculative its ingenuity makes it a leading theory which deserves close attention.
