Good one, but I read it a long time ago.

Are you wanting Sci-Fi? If so, based on what you "like" I'd recommend The 3 Body Problem

Non-fiction. I've read 3-Body Problem. It was OK.

Kuhn's book on Scientific Revolutions is very good

I read Isaacson's biography of Einstein. Sounds good!

I’ve read Einstein too, and I liked this one better. It’s much more than a bio.

The double helix is interesting and fun, but not hardcore.

Not a book, but The Scientific Odyssey is a fantastic podcast.

Sapiens, and it isn't even close.

This book is pretty much fiction

a priori

1/23/23 1:35pm

lots of conjecture, but I don't think he presents it otherwise

I’d give Thomas Kuhn or Karl Popper a try.
