You know what, this was pretty decent. It walked a fine line between reading as non fiction and fiction, though I’m aware it is all non fiction. It did slightly feel like a narrative, which made it more palatable than the average science book for me personally.
I also just found Harrison’s journey very interesting, though I already knew the general outline.
It far exceeded my expectations. I would read it again at some point.
‘Timepieces don’t really keep time. They just keep up with it, if they’re able.’
