Some times HN shows well-written and researched blog pieces about events or characters in scientific history. This book felt like the author read a bunch of these and put them together in a book. Then the reality-fantasy aspect of it makes no sense to me.
Why did you like it?
> like deducing all the rules of Wimbledon from the few balls that flew out of the stadium, without ever having witnessed what takes place on the court
just buy it and give it to people.. that's how i came across this book & already i bought a copy for a friend.
