The Power of Paradox

One thing this book is not is a tightly-reasoned argument that leads the reader inevitably to the book’s main thesis. It is rather, like its cover, a collage. It is a hundred—more or less— observations into what is deep and meaningful in life, the reality around us, that gives the impression that reality is in fact a paradox, a friendly paradox. The book looks at theology, baseball, mathematics and the Bible. And it talks a lot about particle physics and quantum mechanics. You’ll notice that it fails to mention rock stars and reality TV.
