Exactly what I was looking for from this book; A lot of focus on determinism, quantum mechanics and the way poetic naturalism views everything. I've always had some kind of cognitive dissonance based on how we should morally behave in a deterministic world, this book helped clear up that mental conflict.

Some scientific aspects of the book went slightly over my head. If I didn't understand something I just continued and tried my best. I did do research into concepts outside the book to help me understand things properly, I was genuinely interested in them though, so it didn't feel like work.

I'm sure I can get as much value out of it the second time I read it.
