that the universe is a figment of our imagination and that we control the dream...if only we could. But we buffet around...actually this book led me to Buddhism. The "3 laws" of life...it's suffering, get over it and you can't get there from here. So the Dalai Lama just laughs and laughs.

Actually this was one of the first books about quantum mechanics and relativity written in terms that anyone can understand. It was written in 1988 and was very avant garde for its time. Your question made me pick it up again. It's a good read.
