eheslosz's review against another edition
4.0
4.5
Initially I was blown away by the style and form, but once I got used to it there were a few science-ish sections that were too densely explained. But still this is an incredible creative non-fiction read, and I love the 'exploded essay' concept.
This book is about how we see things and how we experience perception when we cannot see, when things are dark or blank or absent or blindingly bright. Really interesting and connected to lots of things I want to explore creatively.

This was interesting! it's a series of essays - some more compelling than others, but each had something that was worth detailed examination - it dragged in parts but i'm trying to read more non-fic and this is a great place to start for me.

Fascinating in places but found the style repetitive and became a bit of a struggle by the end
