I wasn't all that impressed with the TV Documentary of the "The Elegant Universe", it seemed to skim over many, many things which I find inevitably leads one to the book anyway .. and the doco's style is a bit too glitzy for my liking (a bit distracting, I find).
Gotta have a laugh at Steven Weinberg's (??) comment at about the 1:53 mark in the preview:

There's no principle built into the laws of nature that says theoretical physicists have to be happy.

What a classic !
Anyway, I'd still recommend 'The Fabric ..' book .. there's a lot of detail and its one of those books one can come back to time and time again, as it seems to touch on so many aspects which come up both in the IIS Science Forum, and elsewhere in other Physics Forums (around the web).
Cheers & thanks kindly for that 'Find' !
