Challenging read June 28, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I very much enjoyed the ideas, theories and concepts floated by the book. Quite persuasive to someone like myself who considers themselves to be a scientific sceptic. Terminology gets a little complex, they do like long winded words and titles that I'm not sure help explain the information in the book yet the fundamental idea is carried across, and with determination it is well worth the read. It is good to read of scientists actually getting to grips with phenomena that is usually (and quite unscientifically) ignored and not having to resort to the usual new age mumbo jumbo.
thought provoking where logic defies apparent common sense February 11, 2002

This is a fairly difficult but exciting read. Its main thesis is quite simple, that every object interacts with at least one other and this causes change in the object. Since change is evolution, each object evolves and the interaction is a form of consciousness. The logic is sound (but logic also demands that a bumble bee can't fly or that a bee hitting a train will cause it to stop). I think where the book falls down is that it doesn't go far enough into the concept of consciousness. Without actually saying so, by reading between the lines the idea is promulgated that as humans we interact with a large number of other objects and people and as such our knowledge is increased and this is representative of our consciousness. A stone on the other hand interacts only with the ground around it so only 'experiences' perhaps temperature and wetness therefore its consciousness is low. The distinction perhaps needs to be made as to whether 'alive' is the same as 'conscious'.The basic thesis though is exciting and well put.
