In Search of Schrödinger's Cat: Quantum Physics and Reality by John Gribbin
5.0
I started this with pretty much zero knowledge of quantum physics and picked it up solely because a friend had been telling me about schrödinger’s cat and I thought it sounded interesting. Somewhat surprisingly, I think it’s one of the most interesting topics I’ve ever encountered and an incredibly enjoyable read!
There were certainly a lot of confusing parts (although that was likely due to the fact I have literally no background knowledge) and so much information was covered, but it was broken down really well and there were plenty of analogies that made very theoretical concepts remarkably understandable. I feel like I have a good understanding of an awful lot of topics now and this has made me very much want to learn more (plus made it very easy to through the list of books referenced in the bibliography)
Also reading it made me feel incredibly smart, which is always fun
