Very interesting book. Some unique ideas and insights. I especially like the way he bridged the scientific concepts to our everyday reality and the human experience. Also, not too technical, but a basic understanding of physics helps. This book, however, does leave you with more questions than answers- but that is to be expected,as this is a book for deep thinkers.
Great balance of science and philosophy. Definitely easier to follow if you’ve read Seven Brief Lessons on Physics and/or Reality is Not What It Seems, but not necessary. Rovelli offers clear, concise explanations and, at times, waxes poetic.
One quibble: I wish the citations were in-line or footnotes instead of end notes — I was always flipping back and forth.

Couldn't determine, at times, if I were reading physics or poetry.
