I’ve been hoodwinked too many times by well-reviewed pop-sci books which I later discovered to be hated by the actual scientists who do the work. Quantum Supremacy by Michio Kaku was the final straw 😆

    That’s disappointing to hear about Michio Kaku. I bought one of his books a long time ago, after hearing an interesting interview with him on a podcast. (Never actually got around to reading the book, though.)

      Maybe he’s mellowed out, this was before podcasts were widespread. I definitely felt like I had been scammed for the ticket price of that event though 😅
