Penrose, huh. I was reading the intro to Scott Aaronson's new book on quantum computing, and in it he says,
> More pointedly, one wonders who the audience for this book
is supposed to be. On the one hand, it has way too much depth for a
popular book. Like Roger Penrose’s _The Road to Reality_ – whose
preface promises an accessible adventure even for readers who
struggled with fractions in elementary school, but whose first few
chapters then delve into holomorphic functions and fiber bundles –
_Quantum Computing since Democritus_ is not for math-phobes.
