Reviews

[Hannah · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fun, easy read densely packed with information - thought experiments and obscure facts that stick with you. I'm bummed that I didn't know how many they had planned for because I would have held off on them until they'd published all the volumes.

This is such an incredible book with interesting facts, displayed in an easy to digest format.

I wish this book was required reading for everyone and it also outlines some interesting information about women and our role in society, politics, etc.

Real page turner in the graphic novel forms. The best way to get started with simple but seemingly complex ideas in the original books. Great for young readers
