Many books have been written about black holes, but none surpass this one in arousing emotions of awe and wonder towards the mysterious structure of the universe. -Martin Gardner. Bucky Fuller thought big. Arthur C. Clarke thinks big, but Cliff Pickover outdoes them both. -Wired. The book is fun, zany, in-your-face, and refreshingly addictive. -Times Higher Education Supplement.
