Publisher's Summary

Nearly everyone is familiar with holograms - three-dimensional images projected into space with the aid of a laser. Two of the world's most eminent thinkers believe that the universe itself may be a giant hologram, quite literally a kind of image or construct created, at least in part, by the human mind. University of London physicist David Bohm, a protégé of Einstein and one of the world's most respected quantum physicists, and Stanford neurophysiologist Karl Pribram, an architect of our modern understanding of the brain, have developed a remarkable new way of looking at the universe. Their theory explains not only many of the unsolved puzzles of physics but also such mysterious occurrences as telepathy, out-of-body and near-death experiences, lucid dreams, and even religious and mystical experiences, such as feelings of cosmic unity and miraculous healings. Now featuring a foreword by Lynne McTaggart, The Holographic Universe is a landmark work with exciting conclusions that continue to be proven true by today's most advanced physics, cosmology, and string theory.

A Deep Book

There are a lot of complex and interesting concepts covered in the book, which fly by you quickly in an audio format. I've owned the paper version for years, it is one of my favourites. I got the audio book as a refresher, which is what I would recommend to others. Or, listen to this first as a primer, but then you'll want to get the paper version later to allow more time to digest it as you go.

Base knowledge for understanding our place in the universe.

Old information rediscovered and repackaged in an easy to digest way. If this is your first experience with the true nature of reality do not stop here! This is just surface information. Check your Ego at the door before beginning this journey.

Dangerous gibberish

To repackage mysticism as exciting frontiers of science is exactly what we should expect in this godless age of self-indulgence.

Prepare for the woo-woo zone

Starts out with science and is more interesting at that point, then transitions to topics that are more “out there” but still ties back some science. However, before half-way it fully transitions to woo-woo land and no longer attempts any scientific explanation for endless reporting on paranormal phenomena with little more than a suggestion that it must be the holographic model that explains it. Near the end of the book, the author doesn’t even seem to attempt to tie it back anymore. I feel like the author found a hammer in the theory of a holographic universe that made everything else look like a nail to him. There is no exploring how the reader might experience any of the phenomena themselves and so most of this book can be summed up as, "yup there’s lots of weird stuff we can’t explain", with no real value passed on to the reader other than possibly being able to say to a friend at some point in the future, “maybe it’s the holographic universe”, if something can’t otherwise be explained. If you are interested in a book that catalogues many paranormal phenomena, you will probably really like this. If you are looking for a book that explains phenomena with scientific experiments or validates how holographic universe theory makes any scientific predictions, then the majority of this book will be lacking for you.

This is what happens when a metaphors is taken literally

A lot of anecdotes with very little proof presented. The concept of a lower dimensional space-time generating our higher dimensional universe through holographic-like principles seems like a very good metaphor needing further investigation. But to take it literally is akin to literal interpretations of the Old Testament.
