The author writes well, but the book really centers on nihilism and human destructiveness in the name of desperately searching for order and comfort in this world.
I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone sensitive.

I do enjoy a good exploration of metaphors in science. It did seem a bit meandering in how the author reached her conclusion, but it it wasn’t too expansive. I’m not sure how I feel about her portrayal of David star Jordan over the course of the book. On the one hand, I think waiting to reveal his support of eugenics and his strangeness is what lent structure to the book and honestly we are talking about a white man with power at the end of the 19th century. Statistically speaking, he was probably going to have at least one highly problematic world view. She also did do a pretty good job of being chronological with his life.
