Decoding reality by Vlatko Vedral

A month later I have finished reading Decoding Reality by Vlatko Vedral, an interesting, informative read I bought at Exclusive books at 30% off. I love book sales! I found this book in the science section, a section I admittedly never read from.

It took me a while to read because aside from taking many breaks I had to read a few bits over as it explains concepts that are new to me, like quantum information and things I'd forgotten like entropy.

I rather like this book and I'd read it again, mostly because it explains the complex scientific terms it uses in lay language. I'm no physicist but I think explained things pretty well.

He explains different theories of information, how it is created, stored, decoded in different disciplines and explains how these information theories help us organize information.

I'd recommend this book to someone who is interested in science but isn't a scientist, I think a scientist may have learned these things in class. It is a lovely way to browse through scientific theories though.
