This book is written by a CalTech graduate and MIT physics professor. It is basically a collection of short stories, except none of the stories actually has a plot. Each story is a fictional dream that a young Einstein had about time. Each dream is set in a different universe in which some aspect of time is slightly different from how we understand it to be and each story is a glimpse into that universe. Most of the stories are actually very interesting in a thought-provoking kind of way.

Great book and a perfect beach read, it may be short read but its filled with some deep beautifully captured words.

Thoughtful, but too slow for me. Gently written. Had an "art for art's sake" feel for me.

Moving and humorous and fascinating. Who thinks about Albert Einstein as being anything but an iconic human being? Reading about Einstein, as a man was fascinating and delightful.

LOVED it! It makes you think of the concept of time in wonderful ways.
