Future Science: Essays from the Cutting Edge by Max Brockman
4.0
I picked up this collection of essays on impulse at the Ann Arbor book festival a few years ago. It ended up being one of my road trip books over Christmas, and it was excellent for that purpose. I could read an essay or two to my husband when he wanted some distraction while driving but then not feel bad about reading on without him when he'd rather listen to music of have silence.
Like pretty much any collection of essays, I found that one fell flat for me and that a couple covered similar ground in a way that was repetitive, but overall I really enjoyed this collection. Most of the essays were strong, I learned new things about a wide variety of scientific disciplines, and several things I learned have entered into some of my everyday conversation. A solid collection.
