The book Jon Taylor’s 'Contact with the Future' presents quite a stimulating view on the topic of speculative and futuristic work, analyzing how mankind can affect and engage the future. Taylor takes the reader through the complex terrains of scientific analysis, philosophical discourse, and societal implications and gives a readable account of an age-old human preoccupation. Quite a strong and convincing case for the ESP's existence is made within the book.

The strength of the book is best seen in the author’s attempt to explain the scientific information within the best understanding for the lay reader. Taylor skillfully decompiles and explains advanced topics like 'How it All Began,' 'Information transfer in space-time,' 'The Intervention Paradox,' 'What about telepathy?' and so on, even for those who are not familiar with sci-fi. This book takes a look at extrasensory perception, or ESP, and uses a wealth of experience accrued over 25 years to look at the foundations of the physical and biological aspects of its occurrence. In his endeavor to explain ESP, the author has used Bohm’s concept of how information can be conveyed between living brains per space and time.

The book 'Contact with the Future' makes a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion about the potential for ESP. It is informative, interesting, and thought-provoking at the same time, and the authors explain relatively complex material in a simple but scholarly manner. During my readings, I want to commend that there was no grammatical mistake that I noted. One of the sections from the book, which according to me is quite interesting to read, is Chapter 13: What about telepathy? There is nothing I can dislike about this book. Altogether, considering these factors, I will rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. The author himself does not use academically formal language, and the book is easy to read for one who doesn’t have a background in science. No matter whether you are a newcomer to the field of science and its possibilities and risks or already a fan of this genre, this book will help understand what awaits humanity after contact with the future.
