Tempted to buy the book but I am somewhat sceptical of the theory.

I notice its in e-book format.  Not sure whether, by being in the 'public library', whether its free or not.

I suspect that it may be speculative, creative, artistic bullshit.

I got as far as "Shakespeare’s potential reference to the structure of Saturn’s rings". Galileo had seen something near Saturn but did not know what it was. The rings were not identified as such until well after Shakespeare's death ... and Galileo's death, too.
