The Scientist as Rebel by Freeman Dyson

wilte's review

3.0

Well written collection of articles. I skimmed some of them, the pieces on Feynmann, on Dyson's war years, and on some other scientists (eg Edward Teller) stood out. Also nice touch: many articles had a 2016 update, what is current situation, how was the piece received.

Finished about half of this before it had to go back to the library. There were some interesting essays in here. And some pretty boring ones that I didn't understand as having anything to do with the theme rebel scientists (I'm looking at you Russia). Overall, it wasn't good enough that I feel the need to go take it out from the library again. And I did pull out a couple of the books mentioned in here that look a lot more interesting than this does!
