I'll second this, along with its follow up book. I read it close to a year ago and the description of the particle unfolding into higher dimensions has still stuck with me.
My only major complain with the book is that very often it uses particle physics as hand-wavy magic to break any rules it wishes to, and that breaks suspension of disbelief for me.
Oh, I don't have any illusions about the physics being accurate! These type of books are very much an escape for me, so it doesn't bug me too much when authors take liberties with reality.
