Drawing on the latest scientific research in physics, neuroscience, and psychology, Abbott argues that time is not a fixed and absolute entity but rather a subjective experience that is shaped by our brains and our consciousness. He explores the ways in which our perception of time can be distorted by factors such as emotion, memory, and attention, and he suggests that our experience of time may be more closely related to our mental state than to the objective passage of time.

Abbott also delves into the philosophical implications of a non-linear understanding of time. He argues that if time is not linear, then it is possible to conceive of a world in which the past, present, and future exist simultaneously. This has profound implications for our understanding of free will, causality, and the nature of reality itself.

Sideways Look at Time is a challenging and thought-provoking book that will appeal to anyone interested in the nature of time, consciousness, and reality. Abbott's writing is clear and accessible, and he provides a wealth of fascinating examples and thought experiments to illustrate his ideas. Sideways Look at Time is a must-read for anyone who wants to expand their understanding of the world around them.
