Oh I remembered the book. It's 'A Different Universe' by Robert Laughlin. To expound very slightly, his theory is that a sensor is basically an amplifier. For example your computer is able to amplify the relatively small signal coming out of your ethernet cable in a way your finger can't. But the signals at the quantum level are so weak that it's simply impossible to do this process reliably. It's a very interesting book; I had to read it a few times.
