Review:
Sets a new standard for science writing . . . a delight and a rare gem. The New York Times
Using metaphors instead of mathematics, George Johnson brings clarity to the strange world of the quantum computer. Scientific American
"He makes you smart and quantum computing real." -- Kevin Kelly, Wired
"Lucid and accessible. . . . Johnson does a fine job of telling a story that makes sense both to those who are completely at home in the mathematical theory of the subatomic world and to those whose reaction to the theory is abject terror. . . . A beguiling combination of clarity and enthusiasm." New Scientist
