Recensione:
Review from previous edition By turns irreverent, erudite and funny, 'Decoding Reality' is - by the standard of books that require their readers to know what a logarithm is - a ripping good read...Not since David Deutsch's magestierial 'The Fabric of Reality' has a physicist given us such a wide-ranging and intriguing picture of how quantum mechanics constructs the world. (Seth Lloyd, New Scientist)
Well written and engaging, the book provides a constant flow of new ideas. (Science)
The author evinces great enthusiasm and curiosity throughout. (Steven Poole, The Guardian)

Excellent, thought-provoking book. (BBC Focus Magazine, Marcus Chown)
An engaging, non-technical exploration of what the new theory of quantum information and computation tells us about life, the universe, and everything. (David Deutsch, author of The Fabric of Reality)
Let Vedral guide you skilfully through the wonderland of modern physics - where nothing is as it seems. This is the finest treatment I have read of the weird interplay of quantum reality, information and probability. (Paul Davies, author of The Eerie Silence and The Goldilocks Enigma)
