This book is incredible. It explores time from many different perspectives and takes the reader on a journey confronting a world filled with completely random chance and then one with only calculated causality. The author points out that both lack free will. The book goes on to discredit these two false visions of time and the author proposes how time would look without strict causality or random chance, hence allowing for free will to exist.
I will be honest, there are some parts of the book that left we wanting more explanation. But for a book that is this long, that is a compliment. This is a great read.

I picked up a copy of this book while I was in india, and it was a pleasure (and a challenge) to read a book that is written from a perspective/Philosphy different to that of dominant western scientific beilief. It truely is a Magnum Opus that challenges and stretches ones understanding of time. It certainly expanded my understanding, but Be warned though, that this is no light read. I am not sure that I fully comprehended all of the implications that are presented here, but It is truely a workout for the mind and intellect. I recomend it
