ALAN Lightman was horror-struck to realise that he has no spare time. He has become 鈥渁 unit of efficiency鈥�. He has to reach back to his childhood for the last time he meandered through a day, when time was not cut into efficient byte-sized pieces for instant use. As he writes, the reader thinks. A Sense of the Mysterious is a collection of essays by physicist-writer Lightman, a great introduction to his work and pure pleasure for fans.
