Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.The spine remains undamaged. This deceptively slim novel explores madness, divinity and scientific disco very -- and reads like the best of nonfiction. One of The New York Times Book Review's 10 Best Books of 2021 Shortlisted for the 2021 International Booker Prize and the 2021 National B ook Award for Translated Literature A fictional examination of the lives of real-life scientists and thinkers w hose discoveries resulted in moral consequences beyond their imagining. When We Cease to Understand the World is a book about the complicated links between scientific and mathematical discovery, madness, and destruction. Fritz Haber, Alexander Grothendieck, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrödinger-- these are some of luminaries into whose troubled lives Benjamín Labatut thr usts the reader, showing us how they grappled with the most profound questi ons of existence. They have strokes of unparalleled genius, alienate friend s and lovers, descend into isolation and insanity. Some of their discoverie s reshape human life for the better; others pave the way to chaos and unima ginable suffering. The lines are never clear. At a breakneck pace and with a wealth of disturbing detail, Labatut uses the imaginative resources of fiction to tell the stories of the scientists and mathematicians who expanded our notions of the possible.
