The Disordered Cosmos: A Journey into Dark Matter, Spacetime, and Dreams Deferred by Chanda Prescod-Weinstein

5.0

This wonderful memoir is so many things: partly an intro to and update on the current state of particle physics and what we know about the universe; partly a personal history of the author's journey in academic science and its challenges; partly a reflection on what it means to be dark, both in the ways this term is applied in physics and as a Black person in the world. The writing is superb and the many themes are balanced beautifully against one another. Highly recommend.
