This is the definitive popular exploration of what the fourth
dimension means, both physically and spiritually. Mathematician and
science-fiction novelist Rudy Rucker takes readers on a guided tour
of a higher reality that explores what the fourth dimension is and
what it's meant to generations of thinkers. The exciting and
challenging journey is enhanced by more than 200 illustrations and
a host of puzzles and problems (with answers).

of fresh air." -- John Sladek, "Washington Post Book World
