Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universe, Time Warps, and the 10th Dimension by Michio Kaku

4.0

At nearly 25 years old, I imagine there's a fair bit that's out of date in this book, but it was a fascinating read nonetheless.
A good portion of the book discusses the history and progression of humanity's conceptions of higher dimensions, and how those ideas affected art, religion, and other aspects of society (and how, in turn, the science was affected by the results of that cross-pollination). While the science has surely matured since this was written, it's a thought-provoking read about the nature of our universe, and our quest to understand it.
