Surfing Through Hyperspace: Understanding Higher Universes in Six Easy Lessons
by Clifford A. Pickover
To be honest, the 'connecting device' is more distracting than instructive. It feels as though Pickover thought the subject too dry, so he added in a very short story filled with surrealism and fannish references and included the 'lessons' as exposition.... Sorry, but hyperspheres are brain-splody enough, I don't need to read about the mundane narrator popping basketballs with pins. Sexual innuendo is fine, if it's well done... you get the picture.
The appendices are very good, though, and the bibliography looks worth taking notes from. Lots of pretty pictures. It does succeed in being fun...
Anyone want a kid? How about two...?
