Such a wonderful title -- such a terrible book. I learned a lot from Laszlo's Science and the Akashic Field, but was very disappointed with Quantum Shift in the Global Brain. It seemed to me that Laszlo and his publisher (Inner traditions) just hashed together bits and pieces of writing to put something on the market.
What the author means by "Quantum Shift" is just improved relationships to each other and to nature. He writes with both pedantry and idealism and gets quite preachy at times. The middle section of the book is best because Laszlo is explaining implications of current developments in quantum physics, and he is very good at it. The ending deals with the Club of Budapest which he founded in 1996. Membership includes people like Desmond Tutu, Liv Ullmann, Peter Ustinov, Elie Wiesel, Arthur C. Clarke, Bianca Jagger, Mikhail Gorbachev -- an interesting mix. The club calls for increased creativity, diversity, responsibility, and planetary consciousness. The attitude is "Smarten up or we're doomed."
