The word obviously indicates a sequence of events and sequence indicates time and time indicates a required conscious observer. So, in a sense I&rsquo;ve read this book both before, after and not yet. Jokes aside this book raises a lot of interesting questions, making you think about things a little differently than you had before. And that is the most and best that you can ask from a book. The writing in the book is kind of poor and a little self-aggrandizing at points but the ideas are original enough to make that not too difficult to look past. This book also made me want to read Emerson. While some of his conclusions and observations have in recent years been &ldquo;proven&rdquo; wrong (most notably the experiment of being able to read someone&rsquo;s intentions up to 10 seconds before they actually make a decision) there still seems to be plenty of latitude in the field of consciousness to allow for his ideas to have value. Good suggestion has given me a lot to think about.</p>
