Good physics, very approachable format, but leans a little too hard into the informal, expletive filled writing that it felt forced. That could also be due to the reader of the audiobook I listened too, but they were a good reader in every other way.

I had to read this before I could recommend it to my family and non-scientists friends, so maybe they can understand a little bit about why I spent five years of my life in a basement lab. I’m delighted to have an accurate, digestible, and accessible book that’s also hilarious to point people to.

There is a lot of fluff stuff out there, alluding to some connection with ‘Quantum Physics’. This book purports to debunk attempts to largely hoodwink the general public by adding ‘Quantum’ to anything and everything such as ‘Quantum Love’, ‘Quantum Healing’ etc.
Other than that, much of the key concepts, scientists & events you would read in most such books is there – Schrodinger’s cat, superposition, entanglement, Einstein’s discomfort and others. Right from the start, the author uses what one would largely consider street language – what you run into in groups of people chatting casually. I do like simple writing, and do not think street language makes things easier to understand in any way.
I have previously reviewed ‘Helgoland’ and ‘Simply Schrodinger’, both of which are better books to read about Quantum Theory.
