Written with his usual clarity and wit, these pieces range widely across time and space from Newtons alchemy to Einsteins mistakes, from Nabokovs butterflies to Dantes cosmology, from travels in Africa to the consciousness of an octopus, from mindaltering psychedelic substances to the meaning of atheism. Charming, pithy and elegant, this book is the perfect gateway to the universe of one of the most influential scientists of our age.
