Short but excellent. 2nd book from Lightman that I’ve read, really enjoy the way he thinks and perceives the world, nature, and universe.

A selection of assays on how great advances in physics impacted philosophy. I found it entertaining but it remained quite surface level, I did not really learn something new from this.

Very much enjoyed! Easy to understand and easy to listen to— great narrator (BronsonPinchot). I loved listening to this. Sometimes I listened to a chapter over again.

Liked the balance of the book. Really good except for last 10 pages which are just a diatribe on millennials’ toxic addiction to technology. Kind of had Luddite vibes.

This was not what I was expecting, and while it was a nice light read, I wanted it to be a lot more than what it was. There's very little science, and that was my biggest disappointment. I also wanted more space (or at least more physics), though that was my fault for not reading the back of the book carefully enough.

short and not that informative
The writing was solid and clear and easy to read. The content however was quite short and none of the topics presented were anything new to me so I didn't get a lot out of it. Beware of the old man rant about smartphones at the end.
