We Are All Stardust: scientists who shaped our world talk about their work, their lives, and what they still want to know by Stefan Klein

2.0

Not quite what I was expecting, the subtitle should read ‘meandering conversations between academics’ as there was no structure to the interviews, and often the author completely overtakes the conversation. A great idea, but doesn’t explore ‘mysteries of our existence’, as far as I could tell it was random conversations about their work that felt very surface level.

Took me forever to read, as it wasn’t interesting enough for me to feel the urge to pick it back up. I didn’t really like the author as his presence was overpowering and I felt the scientist selection was biased towards reaffirming the authors politics and worldview. Disappointing.
