Brain Jack by Brian Falkner

Brain Jack by Brian Falkner is a book/story that takes place in in the future and tells of a story of a boy named Sam who manages to hack into a telecommunication company and is asked to help save the Earth and preserve its present state. The present state of the Earth is in danger because in an attempt to not disclose his identity, the foundation of the Earth is taken out. I have not read the book but wish to in the future. I read the synopses and wish to read the book in the near future. I think the book takes an interesting look at society, technology, and how they interact and correlate. I recommend this book to anyone in general or anyone who is heavily interested in technology and its external and philosophical constructs. Link:

The Lightness of Being by Frank Wilczek

I am currently reading a book by Frank Wilczek entitled The Lightness of Being. The Lightness of Being is a book that focuses on new radical scientific concepts such as mass, empty space, and energy. The book also puts into new perspective the composition and the nature of the universe as a whole and the revolution of fundamental physics. It is a very interesting book and I advise anyone who reads this post to look further into the book.
