ADVANCE PRAISE
“The best explanation yet of what has yet to be explained.”
-George Dyson, author of Turing’s Cathedral
“This is a book about what it’s like to treat life as an uncompromising search for the nature of reality. It is about physics, but also our historical moment. Do we essentially know everything already? Are we only cleaning up details and consolidating our powers, or is humanity still mostly ignorant? Smolin starts with a scrupulously fair telling of recent ideas in physics, and then accelerates into a vision of the future of physics. Sentences that are as simple as possible, like elementary particles, populate the closing argument. Read them slowly. They cut deep.”
-Jaron Lanier, author of Dawn of the New Everything and Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now
“Lee Smolin has written a superb and sweeping book. He takes us to Bohr, Bohm, Everett, and far beyond in a masterful assessment, then on to the struggle to go beyond quantum mechanics toward quantum gravity. Einstein’s Unfinished Revolution is truly a fine work.”
-Stuart Kauffman, author of At Home in the Universe
