What is Real?

This book is repetitive, repetitive, repetitive. The author does a good job describing the history of the ideas and giving snapshots of the most important physicists, but he repeats the ideas of quantum foundations over and over, much more than is necessary. The ending is also poor, where he tries and fails to draw a grand synthesis, especially including a nanny scolding regarding why aren't more physicists studying philosophy, rather than asking what value philosophy has at all.
