"Sex, Drugs, Einstein and Elves is quite a book and fully a close encounter with Clifford Pickover's amazing mind. The book made me wish I could spend a few hours with Dr. Pickover just picking his brain. Yes, the book is a tour de force"
— Science Editor, Harvard University Press
"Cliff Pickover is a believer whose faith in the marvelous nature of the universe is uniquely revealed through his skillful employment of the skeptic's razor. Stripping away the veil that hides the unseen realms of the possible, Sex, Drugs, Einstein & Elves. offers glints of the spectacular rewards to be grasped when science and the Socratic method are trained, where they ought to be, on the sublime and the mysterious."
— Charles Hayes, author of Tripping: An Anthology of True-Life Psychedelic Adventures
"Clifford Pickover's ability to connect various fields of understanding is a true display of synthesis to reveal wholes greater than their parts. At the same time he can analyze a subject to extract the one or two things he needs in yet another larger insight. He is a deep sea diver, and a stellar voyager."
— George Zebrowski, John W. Campbell Prize winner for Brute Orbits
"Dr. Pickover's book made me want to read Proust, eat sushi, and contemplate parallel universes. Of course, I've done all those things before but Pickover's joyfully whimsical and lucid writing style reminded me why."
— Ken Goffman aka RU Sirius, author of Counterculture Through The Ages
Sex, Drugs, Einstein, & Elves is one of my all-time favorite books. I simply could not put this book down! From quantum theory to hallucinogenic worms, Clifford Pickover's fascinating orgy of page-turning, paradigm-shifting ideas about cutting-edge science and unexplained phenomena simply blew my mind. Sex, Drugs, Einstein, & Elves is the literary equivalent of a psychedelic experience; after reading this book you will never see reality the same again. Highly recommended! But...
"Warning! Proceed with extreme caution! Sex, Drugs, Einstein, & Elves is a dangerously psychoactive and highly addictive book. I simply could not put this book down! Clifford Pickover's hallucinogenic orgy of paradigm-shifting ideas is guaranteed to increase your intelligence and expand your mind, but--trust me--after reading this book, you will never see reality the same again."
— David Jay Brown, author of Conversations on the Edge of the Apocalypse
