The Disordered Cosmos covers everything from particle physics to the role that settler colonialism plays in the field of science. I learned a lot from Prescod-Weinstein's precise and insightful arguments. This is a book that left me with a lot to think about. I'm really glad I pushed through the first few chapters, which were very physics heavy (at least to me as someone who knows basically nothing about physics), as I really enjoyed the later sections of The Disordered Cosmos

One of the quotes from the book that sticks with me the most came from Prescod-Weinstein's discussion of physics as a field but it felt applicable to many other industries as well.

"We live and work in an environment that is rigidly committed to an exclusive and sometimes physically violent status quo."
