What the most successful scientific theory in history teaches us about being human.

From Silicon Valley entrepreneur, quantum physicist, AI risk expert, and Hollywood "alternative reality" consultant Jérémie Harris, comes an entertaining and accessible look at the world of quantum physics.

The discovery of quantum mechanics has paved the way to just about every important innovation in the last half century: it has led us to the technology that powers microwaves, iPhones, and self-driving cars and is about to trigger a computing revolution that will either spell the end of the human species or propel us to heights we've never imagined.

But there's another reason that quantum mechanics is so important: it is really the only way we can understand ourselves and each other. For the last hundred years or so, physicists have been feverishly debating what quantum theory has to say about you: what you're made of, whether you have free will, what will happen to you when you die, and much more.

Quantum Physics Made Me Do It is an amusing, irreverent exploration of the most successful scientific theory in human history, and a smart, entertaining adventure through the complex and beautiful world mapped out by modern physics.

This book takes an engaging perspective, explaining both the nature and context of different quantum theories, and does a great job. However, it fixates on an undefined idea of metaphysical consciousness as a through-line to somewhat poorly tie in the author's ideas on its potential emergence in AI. A shame, and I wish that other quantum theories besides Bohr and Everett (Or just some of the more modern subdivisions) got as much time, as what was there was otherwise quite enjoyable.

An interesting dive into the human consequences of different quantum theories

This book manages to make a lot of complex concepts accessible and fun! I really enjoyed the tone and the humour throughout and I feel like I've learnt a lot. I like the applications to free will especially :)

Quantum physics made fun!
