Liquid Rules: The Delightful and Dangerous Substances That Flow Through Our Lives by Mark Miodownik
4.0
Miodownik's books are a joy to peruse, actively making material science digestible and enjoyable. A sentence on page 174 makes the rapid advancement in science particularly real – "Certainly, it's hard to imagine a time when we'll be able to collect more data from a complete no-fly scenario, given that flying is such an important part of global culture."
Two short years after the book was published, COVID-19 and the massive reduction in global travel has seen papers studying the exact scenario. I'm excited for what the following two years will hold for new understandings of the way the world works, as well as what Miodownik will pen next.
