Didn't understand a good 60% of it but I was entertained the whole time. Three stars

Fabuloso y complejo. Una buena introducción acerca de la teoría de cuerdas y la historia de su desarrollo.

One of the books that really made me who I am today. I've owned several copies of Hyperspace, but keep losing them after loaning them out.

Blew my mind. Into hyperspace.
Sure, it's pop science, but I'm a poppy guy, and I like science but not enough to get a degree. Perfect!

I'm torn.
I loved how he not only focused on physics and mathematics but also explored and openly discussed the role of religion, faith, and god. I personally did not expect it and it was a very pleasant surprise. It takes guts to be so bold!
However, at times the book was really difficult to follow as Kaku alternates between two different writing styles as if he was addressing two completely different audiences. Sometimes he explains concepts straightforward and in a language that everyone can understand, and in other instances he goes on in a super technical way, making you feel like you're attending a college physics class (that you were not prepared for).
Overall I enjoyed reading the beginning and the end of this book and I would totally recommend it for people with a physics background.
