“While some may sniff at the liberties this book takes in imagining the processes of mind that lead to the signature scientific breakthroughs of the 20th century, they should get over themselves, because this is an exhilarating conjuring of, to steal from Richard Holmes, the beauty and terror of science, how what's possible can change, and dark shadows cast by brilliance.”
