Rovelli is a brilliant physicist and a great writer. This was a wonderful combination of physics and philosophy. And yet, as always with books like these, quantum mechanics still baffles me and I still just end up with more questions than answers. But that is life, no?

I liked it. It was a fun read and I can see myself rereading it in the future.
gripes: I will never like how texts will casually name someone “the greatest scientist of the 20th century” and it’s so obviously biased and filtered through a western lens. I can understand why they did it in this book because it’s meant to be a simplified overview of physics but it did bug me. also the paragraphs in the closing chapter felt very redundant.

My review is more about me than the book, the lessons were thorough and maybe a little too brief, I only felt I had the smallest grasp on what Rovelli was talking about before he moved on.
