This started out really interesting by discussing if a a vacuum or the spaces between electrons in an atom is really "nothing" but then got into some weird tangent about the theory of relativity and that's where it lost me..

A book about nothing? Sure. This is a fun and interesting journey into the history of empty space and our perception of it. It deals with the human view as well as the science. Just the right length not to be tedious.

For a "very short introduction", this took me a loooong time to read. Mostly because I found the writing so dry and repetitive. He managed to make something I normally find fascinating (post-Einstein physics, quantum mechanics, etc) so incredibly dense and dull. I'd recommend Michio Kaku or Neil DeGrasse Tyson or the wonderful Best American Science and Nature Writing series instead.

Author has jumbled up the topic with concepts that require extensive explanations,relativity and quantum mechanics are very difficult to understand for the uninitiated . As the title suggests I have learnt nothing from this vsi.
