Characterizing hyperspace as the area where mathematics, physics and science fiction intercept, Pickover takes us on a fascinating journey into the mind-stretching realms of higher dimensions, where a whole new concept of intelligence and perception are required. Utilizing a quite amazing breadth of knowledge, Pickover links space-time wormholes, random walks and all of SF literature in his speculations on the higher dimensions. But the book remains accessible, never bogged down with mathematical equations, it's always buoyant with a remarkable panoply of ideas. For anyone attempting to grasp spatial dimensions beyond the known three, this remarkable document (weaving a science-fiction tale throughout its hardcore data) is unmissable. (Kirkus UK)
In the tradition of Flatland, and with an infectious enthusiasm, Clifford Pickover tackles the problems inherent in our 3-D brains trying to visualize a 4-D world, muses on the religious implications of the existence of higher-dimensional consciousness, and urges all curious readers to venture into 'the unexplored territory lying beyond the prison of the obvious'.
