This is the best non-fiction book I have ever read. Deutsch has an amazing ability to articulate the most sophisticated high level physics in profoundly clear terms for non-physicists. He marches through each explanation, leaving no question unanswered, clearly painting word pictures that make every nuance of his ideas in quantum physics as clear and beautiful as a DaVinci painting. This is the BEST book on the subject of parallel universes and time travel available to non-physicists (and I have read them all, including F. A. Wolfe, Michio Kaku, etc). If you would like to read a Science Fiction novel on time travel that matches his theory of Parallel Universes and Time Travel, check out the following book, also available at Amazon.com The Hiroshima Agenda: "Does the NSA have a working time machine?"
Professor Deutsch gives us a update on the nature of physical reality from three aspects - the nature of understanding in science, the reality of the multiverse, and the limits of virtual reality as a true test of reality. Any one of these is likely to be a revelation to the reader, and even a former physicist like myself cannot read this without a perceptual shift.You will not have to do higher math. You will have to think. This is NOT a review of current science, it's a phase transition in the understanding of the nature of reality.
Overall 5 stars, extremely interesting and good read. I also find the main thesis fairly convincing but that doesn't figure into the rating much in this case, for me. There are a few points that I feel were not material to the main point of the book and which were also poorly argued, and if I were editing the book I'd simply remove them-- Deutsch's seeming insistence on some kind of libertarian free will (I think he even says explicitly "you could have done otherwise") as a consequence of Many Worlds, a somewhat frantic argument at the end of the book where he attacks a strawman of evolutionary psychology trying to make a genealogical case against moral realism, and the chapter on time travel.
Until I got well over half way through the book, I found Deutsch's The Fabric of Reality difficult to put together. It took completing the book and then rereading points I had highlighted throughout the text to make sense of it at all. While I found some of the information helpful and instructive and some of it intriguing, I'm not altogether sure I would recommend it as a way of finding out about the "Four Strands" of which Dr. Deutsch composes his ultimate reality. Reading some of the works he includes in his bibliography might be a more helpful starting point for the average person interested in the subject. Among these are The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins, The Blind Watchmaker, also by Dawkins, Popper's Conjectures and Refutations and The Myth of the Framework and Weinberg's The First Three Minutes.Although I agree with the author, and with E. O. Wilson (Consiliance), that a certain synthesis among the various branches of human knowledge are a necessary prerequisite for advancing much beyond what the 20ieth century has accomplished, I'm not certain that I'm yet prepared for or convinced of the need for a multiverse explanation of reality.The author makes some very important points about science which bear repeating for those who have not yet heard them. For instance, "A scientific argument is intended to persuade us that a given explanation is the best one available. It does not and could not say anything about how that explanation will fare when, in the future, it is subjected to new types of criticism and compared with explanations that have yet to be invented (p. 64)." This is a fundamental principle of the scientific process that escapes many lay individuals and even some scientists.He also notes that scientific theories must do more than simply predict the future, since "Shoddy explanations that yield correct predictions are two a penny, as UFO enthusiasts, conspiracy-theorists and pseudo-scientists of every variety should (but never do) bear in mind (p. 65)."More importantly still in describing scientific methodology the author writes, "Here I must mention an asymmetry which is important in the philosophy and methodology of science: the asymmetry between experimental refutation and experimental confirmation. Whereas an incorrect prediction automatically renders the underlying explanation unsatisfactory, a correct prediction says nothing at all about the underlying explanation (p.65)." This too is often forgotten or misunderstood by those who do not do research of this kind.In general the book tries to cover too much in too small a space. Unless the reader is very well read, he/she would be better off starting somewhere else before tackling this book.
I see this book as the ultimate guide to cake baking. It is the very thing the title suggests ~The FABRIC of Reality~. As a famous saying goes, "To bake a cake from scratch first you create the universe" This book identifies the absolute basic ideas that define our understanding of what our senses tell us. Regardless of what you think of his theory of the multiverse or even his views on quantum physics you must admire the way he challenges us to look at the things we believe in their most basic form. He says if you kick a stone and you feel it hurt your foot then you must assume it is real. All our lifetime beliefs must stem from this simple observation. To me DD has opened up my eyes to see the world and after reading this book my mind was forced to make adjustments in the way I come to accept things as fact. He goes to the very heart of what not only what the fabric of the universe is but during the explaination forced me to see what the fabric of my own surroudings is and how I should decide what to believe in.I must highly recommend this book as required reading to anyone who has ever decided to belive in something just because someone else said it was true (hint - religous writings) without offering the rock kicking experiment to prove it.
