The End of Science: Facing the Limits of Knowledge in the Twilight of the Scientific Age by John Horgan

3.0

Weird book. I actually found Horgan’s core argument persuasive, and I’ve been thinking a lot about it the last few weeks. However, the method of making the argument (“let’s cherry-pick quotes from esteemed scientists to make them seem silly”) is pretty lame, and the final chapter is borderline comically inept given the rest of the book’s argument. Thought-provoking but not particularly impressive.
