This is addressed to all the ponderers on the board.

What is it about? With a title like that it must by about sub-atomic physics, is that right?

I haven't read it yet. I was waiting for it to drop. From what I've read of the introduction thus far, I would be doing a disservice to the author to try to summarize it. It's about the neurological and philosophical underpinnings of being and knowledge and how what and how we perceive who we are relates to processing the universe out there. It seems to be a middle way between solipsistic relativism and hard materialism.

Five chapters in and it's pretty enlightening, at least as far as my own cognitive biases go.
