Boring conjecture and opinion little to no science

Revisado: 03-18-21

I was expecting a story about the multitudes of mutations, genome changes and subsequent phenotypes that lead to the evolution of Homo sapiens from our LUCA of chimps.. what I got was a story that takes place after all of that and is much less interesting and much more so just the authors opinion and social commentary.. talk about a mislead title..

Amazing !

Revisado: 06-23-19

I took 5 semesters of math in college and had no idea what any of it meant. I had no idea about mathematical relationships, mathematical structures or the associated properties of them and what this signified. This book is one of the most intelligent ideas on this planet and Tegmark should be honored for his ideas as the next richard feynman or the next carl sagan

Boring textbook that doesnt explain anything

Revisado: 06-23-19

I was expecting something similar to "Scale" by geoffrey west (which the author basically plagiarizes during his examples of scaling laws and explanation) or perhaps something similar to jeremy english's ideas on the adaptation dissipation model, what I got was a painful textbook on entymology.


There is a major difference between a description and an explanation: this book is a boring series of equations that describes obscure details of life and their associated variables, it does not explain it nor does it tie these equations into any coherent theoretical framework. Also one of the most boring books ive ever read: getting through the first 3 chapters was a major drag

Audio hurts my ears SO bad

Revisado: 06-23-19

Love Nessa Carey, Her stuff is AMAZING. The audio for this book is SOOOOOO Bad!!! At times it sounds like I am listening to someone speak underwater where certain beginning and endings of words blurr and combine together to sound like white noise, almost sounds like its a poorly designed AI that read the book. its very annoying and ruined the book for me.

Book is great Audio needs attention

Revisado: 02-01-19

Love the book, it’s nice to have someone finally call out fMRI for the arbitrary poorly controlled experimental tool that it is, however about half way through the book I noticed this very high pitch ringing sound that persists through the entire book. Book is great Audio needs fixin

Not the best book for an “audiobook”

Revisado: 01-01-18

I like Leonard Susskind, but I never realized how important those diagrams are until I read the physical copy of this book. That being said: I love how he does not “dumb down” the material present in the book. however, there is a lot of him “hamming it up” and the book could have been compressed to about 8hrs
