A new experience of everyday experience
5 stars
Really loved it, was probably my favourite nonfiction book of 2025. Like most great popular science books, it opens up new perspectives and allows us to see the world with different eyes. It's not too simplified and it seems based on recent science, sciting many experiments. The conclusions are often speculative and stretch beyond what you would write into a paper. But that's expected of a popular science book and the extent is not such that I feel the author is dishonest or misrepresenting science, which I get from some books.
