Physics of the Impossible – by: Michio Kaku (2009)

Since my arrest in 2005 I have been very interested in all sorts of sciences other than computer science. I think maybe I liked computer science in the past because it made me feel I was in control of something (i. e. the computer). But now I am more driven by a sense of awe and wonder rather than a need for power or control, which explaines several of the books in this collection.
