Our Mathematical Universe

My Quest for the Ultimate Nature of Reality

Very difficult book after the first few chapters. I got as far as the Big Bang and the discovery of the background microwave radiation, but I found myself nodding off during inflation and multiple universes. Tegmark dwells a bit much on his own contribution to the background microwave study. However, I recommend the last chapter where Tegmark discusses various philosophical questions from the physics viewpoint. In particular, are we alone in the universe? His answer is probably yes which I found very surprising and certainly not the mainstream view, but he makes a good case based on his analysis of the Fermi paradox.
