This Explains Everything: Deep, Beautiful, and Elegant Theories of How the World Works by John Brockman

2.0

I’m smart enough to realize and acknowledge that most of what was in this book went completely over my head, except that I got the general concept that everything we know we owe to those before us for either giving us a jumping off point or something to prove wrong. Almost every entry read as a short excerpt from a textbook, which is fine, but if I wanted to read a textbook, I’d read a textbook. I was expecting a bit more flare to the writing in order to draw in more readers.
