I just started back into Smolin's book. From the chapter titles it appears to get rather philosophical towards the end. So, by all means, get both. I can guarantee no ka-booms. |
Well I bought them both (separately!) from Amazon last night. Unfortunately the Smolin's book was in the Topaz format which I had not check on before purchasing. Kinda pissed me off, but I was able to liberate it and convert it to an epub without any major issues (other than a few niggly format things).
And no matter-anti matter explosions or anything.
Thanks for the info/review.
