Contact with the Future by Jon Taylor is a nonfiction book examining extrasensory perception (ESP). The author is a graduate of the University of Cambridge and has dedicated the last twenty-five years of his life to researching ESP. The book provides extensive research and case studies focused on precognition, telepathy and intuition. The author walks readers through complex laboratory experiments devoted to the concept of extrasensory contact. He also examines existing theories on the subject and includes references to other scientific studies. Intuition is also examined in the book. Taylor states that intuition is what guides us in making decisions.

Precognition is an important and central concept in this book. It is the idea that the human brain obtains information about events that have not occurred yet. Taylor includes details from several experiments that support this theory. In addition to laboratory experiments, he provides details about individuals who have had dreams about future events or have had a feeling that something would happen in the future. When these events eventually take place, the details of the dreams or feelings are examined. He determined that precognition has a higher probability of occurring when the future event has strong emotional impact on the individual. The book also explores quantum physics to explain psychic phenomena.

I enjoyed reading this book. The amount of research conducted by the author is impressive. He explained the advanced scientific concepts in a manner that was easy to understand. He also supported his theories with research and case studies. I found the subject of ESP fascinating. The idea of precognition and connecting with future events may have sceptics; however, Taylor supported these concepts with a wealth of scientific research and data. What I liked most about the book were the examples provided to illustrate the complex concepts discussed. It made the book easier to understand and more enjoyable. There was nothing I disliked about the book.

It is important to note that this is a very high-level examination of a complex topic. The book is written like a college textbook. It focuses on scientific theories and case studies. It is organized into three parts in a format that is easy to follow. In the first part, Taylor introduced the concept of ESP and its history. In the second part, he took a closer look at recognition and telepathy. In the third part of the book, he discussed intuition. Several topics in the book may seem similar; however, the author expertly explained the difference between the concepts presented. In addition, he included a glossary, an appendix, references and an index. These are extremely helpful to readers who would like to learn more about the subject.

I give this book a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. It is exceptionally well edited because I didn’t see any errors while reading. The topic of this book is interesting. The author conducted an impressive amount of research and presented his research in an organized manner. I recommend this book to readers who have an interest in extrasensory perception, including scientific research and case studies. The book includes advanced scientific theories and discussions that may not appeal to those readers without an interest in the scientific aspects of ESP.
