His books decrease in quality the later you go.

One of his older ones (Hyperspace) is quite good and filled with lots of real science and math. Visions is pretty good too.

I think he leaned into the TV spots and airplay a lot and ultimately, fantastical stuff sells better. And now it doesn't matter what he says, it just makes money.

See Neil DeGrasse Tyson for a similar story, though perhaps at a different point in his career.

your comment is absolutely bizarre given whoever you replied to deleted their original comment and response.

Haha I don't recall what it was but some comparison with NGD I think

Omg I had forgotten about that.

Yeah so... Maybe NDT is even further along than Kaku.
