The chapters fling themselves in all directions at breakneck speed. A comet, and a coma. "What wind drags it off with the fury of an angel cast out from heaven, falling, and falling, and falling?" Only the tail end of it can tell.

It's something that still haunts me, and it brings to question the morality of a scientist entangled in his worth as a scientist in the times of war that these men lived through. It's a quick read, but it does require some background knowledge on different physicists that made key quantum discoveries. I would recommend it, but definitely look at some of the content warnings.

A lot of the book is preoccupied with some of the worst atrocities in human history and how our understanding of science made them possible. It's inevitably extremely disturbing, but I don't think the author was needlessly graphic so much as frank.alyx's review against another edition

Sentí que no esta muy logrado el intento de hacer el relato más literario que técnico (por eso creo que alguien que no conoce o no le interesa el tema puede dejarlo sin terminar), pero la discusión filosófica está ahí, salvando las papas cuando crees que se transformó en una historia de cuántica y nombres famosos. El momento donde la ciencia empieza a ser consciente de que ya no es contemplativa sino que el método científico no puede separarse del objeto que estudia, modificándolo en el camino.
Completamente innecesaria la descripción explicita de Schrödinger siendo un viejo verde, no aporta nada a la historia. La sexualización de menores de edad en manos autores masculinos ya es hartante, por más que en la época se "usara" que hombres estén con mujeres mas chicas (que no), este ni siquiera es el caso y no veo más que morbo de quien escribe en el intento de ahondar en eso.
La presencia del gas presentado al comienzo durante todo el trayecto me pareció un lindo detalle y el momento eureka de Heisenberg con la referencia a la bomba atómica me pareció excelente.
Como terca odiadora de las matemáticas en su expresión más pura y abstracta, no me gustaron los cuentos donde es protagonista. Pero eso es una falta mía.
