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 is quite different from a talk by Carl Sagan I saw when I was a kid… which is ironic because that likely what Michio Kaku is sort of imitating.

      That’s what I was expecting, something along the lines of Carl Sagan enthusiastically talking about the marvels of the universe in a way that is contagious.

      That may have contributed to my disappointment lol
