Lost in Math: How Beauty Leads Physics Astray by Sabine Hossenfelder

4.0

This is not light reading at all. If you have a scientific background, you'll probably understand about 60% of the technical sections, of which there are many. But the point made is incredibly important, as we're learning in 2020--there is no "I trust Science". Because science, like every other field, has biases, dirty little secrets, and controversies that make the headlines you see in the paper misleading at best in many cases. And physics, the "purest" of fields, has loads of them. This is an excellent summary of current issues with lots of extrapolation that can be applied to the whole of science.
