A review by bookbeforeuleap
How I Won A Nobel Prize by Julius Taranto

reflective slow-paced

3.5

Helen is a brilliant physics student and with her mentor she is close to making a breakthrough that would decelerate climate change but then he gets sent to a university where disgraced public figures are exiled after doing something unforgivable in the public eye. The only way to continue her research is to follow him into exile.

How I won a Nobel prize is a thought-provoking and humorous exploration of 'cancel culture', moral complexity, the price of progress, and what it means to be a good person. I think the themes discussed in this would make for a brilliant book club discussion. 

The audiobook is really well narrated and definitely adds a layer to the story.
