This book gives a succinct overview of the history of modern physics and looks to the discoveries of the future. The primary focus is on how string theory can bridge the gap between general relativity and quantum theory. The book explains string theory in a way that's accessible to lay people. I came away with a better understanding than I had before.
Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

What a ride. Between reading this and the rest of my Scifi schedule, I went on a deep dive on the Beyond Ideas Channel and watched Michio Kaku talk turkey about the 10th dimension. As one does when they have a weird interest in the Kardashev Scale and try to find work leaning in that direction.
This book has been such an enriching learning experience for the science nerd in me. I mean yeah I got a bit lazy with most theory after I got my degree and bolted straight into the workforce but it's so good to stretch the muscles hidden in the skull you know.

This book induces existential dread and also offers a warm hug. This is my new favorite book.
