Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the Tenth Dimension by Michio Kaku

5.0

Michio Kaku is my new fave person. He built a particle accelerator in his garage as a teenager, wtf. His excitement for theoretical physics translates into his book, and he has a wonderful way of simplifying the concepts to just the right level for the lay reader with some brains. Everything was put into an orderly and chronological context, and mixed with the history of the growth of human knowledge about the universe and biographical information about famous physicists. He has a knack for analogy and several concepts made sense to me where they hadn't before, specifically about the fourth spatial dimension, how it would relate to and interact with the three dimensions we can see. I just loved this book. That said, I don't have a mind for physics so it took me forever to read.
