I ate this one up. I was a little worried that it might not do well as an audiobook, but it actually worked out okay. It was a lovely, curated trip through some of the most influential inventors and she even highlights inventions patented by kids. This would be a fun STEM book to use with kids in a homeschool or co-op school setting. This would even be great for summer activities with kids. Even as an adult, I enjoyed this one tremendously.
She has a little too much faith in the good of certain religious practices such as giving a child a “what would Jesus do” necklace or bracelet to help them be good. This is overly simplistic and has not been proven to make any child (neurotypical or neurospicy) “be good.”
This is really interesting. Apparently if eugenics were to win, and we “edited” out all of the people with depression, no-polar, schizophrenia, autism (like Autism Speaks wants to), ADHD, those with “bad breeding,” etc, we would literally edit out every artist, author, philosopher, creative in history. Those genes are what allow for human creativity, even with the risk that in some cases they will be a bit overactive.
Maybe it‘s just me, but this is just so elegant.

Admittedly, I know exactly zero about quantum physics, but this explanation is precise and specific. I love it.
