What to expect from the collected short works of a Nobel Prize winner and collaborator with the greatest minds of his generation in the manhattan project? Well, something different to what I expected at least. You get a sense of the boy, his relationship with his father, his sense of mischief, his appropriate lack of deference to pretty much any established authority or received wisdom and an absolute commitment to the discipline and higher value of scientific method. A fascinating listen that has left me thinking, and personally that is what I want from a book.
