A review by woolfen
Helgoland by Carlo Rovelli
5.0
Theory/ 5 Stars.
Carlo Rovelli is the Man. This absolutely dizzying book makes quantum physics seem comprehendible, and Rovelli's writing is so fucking intelligible, so clear, so communicative, and works personal touches throughout to maintain and regulate the pace. He also weaves politics, and a philosophical metaphysics, into the last few chapters in a very light hand which coherently meshes with the science of the first few chapters.
In only ~180 pages Rovelli succinctly communicates a 'vertiginous' (he loves this word) ordering of the world along quantum physics and philosophy.
