No, I have not read the book in question here, "A final Theory." But, if I was to actual go by the few who have here I would suggest that the book is not so much real hard science at all. It seems like its one persons interpretaion of things and as such is more presenting the Author's own worldview. That's fine in and of itself. We all tend to have a certain worldview and many books could be written on just that. Interpretations of quantum reality abound also. The problem is once one departs into the area of presenting one's own worldview scientific methods tend to get cast to the side. Our own personalities color the picture one is trying to present. One then enters the realm of popular science presentation that often can leave out aspects of hard science that are important to understanding what science actually has discovered about this universe and reality. Such presentations are never to be construed as anything approaching a real final theory about everything. In the best case they can try and explain what a final theory really ought to be to laymen. In the worst case they can tend to present a distorted picture.
