That one is from around the mid- to late-nineties, so it's a bit out of date especially considering the fast pace of string theory, or M-theory as it is known now. So I am on to Greene's sequel of sorts, The Fabric of the Cosmos. Hopefully they've figured out some of the stuff they hadn't yet figured out by the time Elegant Universe was published.

String Theory might suck the big one if they don't find the Higgs Boson with the CERN.
