This Holographic Universe

Michael Talbot's book, The Holographic Universe, was my introduction to the concept that the universe we inhabit may be holographic in nature. Published in 1991, it is still a fascinating and accessible look at the metaphysical implications of holographic theory.

Originally a writer of science fiction, Talbot also contributed non-fiction articles to the Village Voice and other publications. He was particularly interested in the nexus of spirituality, the paranormal, anomalous phenomena, and physics.

The Holographic Universe is a good starting point for readers without a background in science, as it provides a popular explanation of the principles behind the holographic theory. The downside is that it, perhaps, is a bit too credulous in regards to the paranormal and spiritual.
