Known for her ability to render complicated scientific and esoteric subjects accessible to wider audiences, Deutsch deftly traces the relationships between different theories and events in the history of science and technology, and various aspects of mythology, psychology, philosophy, (meta)physics and mysticism--resulting in a riveting inquiry into the nature of the self and the foundations of reality.
